Apologies to all: I had written this post, but apparently clicked on "Save Now" instead of "Publish Post."
Although I had already used a good number of social media before this project, I had not used them in the context of professional development. I had a LinkedIn account, which I used to link with others in my library school program or with previous connections. I had a Twitter account, which I used enthusiastically for about 6 months and then let gather dust. I had a Google Docs account, a Dropbox account, a Zotero account, and a few other accounts that I had used for various class projects. Through this program, however, I have begun using them intentionally to increase my skills and to gain ideas for the future.
With the focus of this week on being "social," I made an extra effort to use some of my social media accounts. I reconnected with people on my LinkedIn network, contributed to a group discussion on Twitter, posted new status updates on Facebook, and commented on others' walls in Facebook. With how busy the past few weeks have been, I might not have connected with all of these people if it had not been for this week's Thing.
