Perhaps in a nod to both the return of birds to northern climes, and the solo librarian's pursuit of being on top of information at any time and in any location, I encourage everyone to investigate Twitter as an option for keeping in touch during our upcoming annual conference (and beyond!).
First, anyone who posts something intended for the Solo community should use the #dsol hash tag. General SLA conference tweets should use #sla2009. These will be the search terms that you can use to locate Solo-centric / conference-centric tweets.
Second, anyone who would like to follow / be followed by other Solo Division members, please post your Twitter usernames as a comment to this blog entry. I have a couple of names on hand from an earlier discussion on the Solo listserv, but would love to see more people on the list.
If the above two paragraphs appear to you to be in a foreign language, please check out Twitter's help site, or post your questions as comments to this blog entry. :)

While you can still add your name to this blog posting, there is now a "behind the login" listing of SLA members and groups across the organization who use Twitter that is located at http://wiki.sla.org/display/SLAINNO/Twitter+Directory. If you're not already signed up for SLA's wiki space, I highly recommend doing so!
