Developing your own 23 Things for your library

My home library currently uses several of the 23 things. Internally, the most heavily used tool is our library wiki. That's our way to share forms and documents with other staff memebers and run discussions. We are also using Flikr during this year's summer reading program to conduct a photography contest. Individual library employees also own Facebook accounts and blogs to keep in touch with our patrons and fellow librarians.

I can see Twitter being used more in the future to promote special programming and run announcements, especially that Twitter is accessible to all those patrons who get notifications through their mobile devices. As of yet, our library doesn't have an official Facebook account, but it's something that could be an excellent way to comunicate with local communities. Posting Utube links and podcasts on the library web page would also be a great idea.
