The Pottsville Free Public Library recently started a Twitter account. If you already tweet you can find us by searching for PottsvilleRef (capital letters are important).
Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/): It’s been called the most significant major innovation for rapid brief communications to ever come along, the newest killer app.
Here is how Twitter works: you compose your message in 140 characters or less, so it keeps you focused. You can direct this message to one specific individual or broadcast it more widely to target specific subject interest groups, but they must be already enlisted in Twitter. You can report on your breakfast, break news stories, promote your event, blow the whistle on social injustice, report your new discoveries, find your lost dog or a home for the dog that found you, respond and participate in radio and television talk shows …
Is Twitter the new anarchy that’s rapidly destroying the English language and all of civilization with it? Or do you think it’s a new kind of poetry?
If you use Twitter, please let us know: What do you tweet about? What do you want to hear from us?

My original wording said this:
Is Twitter the new anarchy that’s rapidly destroying...
Why was the word "anarchy" suppressed?
Word was added back in. Don't know why it was left out!
