just don’t call me a twit
I just read Linda Braun’s twitter article on YALSA. Linda is a huge fan of twitter. After reading her comments, I’d love to be able to say she’s made me a convert, but…
I suppose it would be useful to read comments on a movie before I spend $10 to see it. Actually, I’m going to test that right now.
I just searched “Benjamin Button” on twitter. From reading various tweets, I can gather that this movie is “incredible,” “kinda sad at the end,” & more enjoyable when there are no “giddy preteens giggling.”
The best comment: “Winner, winner, chicken dinner.”
Hmm… okay. I may have just become a Twitter convert.
What I found most interesting about Linda’s post was the comment on the bottom. Someone searched “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist “ She found tweets about the movie & comments about the actors. She wrote, “What does this tell me? Sounds like a blockbuster hit on the way and so I better read the book already and stock up on copies of the book as well.”
I thought this was a great idea. If you’re unsure about a book or movie, check Twitter to read what people think about it before purchasing it for your Library.

I went to see Benjamin Button in the theaters… it was indeed “incredible,” & “kinda sad at the end.”
And thankfully, there were no “giddy preteens giggling.”
What a great story.
