LIBRARIANS: Twitter Scandals At Chicago ALA Conference

 Maybe this Twitter thing is getting out of hand. (Or maybe it's finally getting interesting.)

Last week's ALA conference in Chicago included an unofficial (and somewhat hook-up oriented) Twitter hashtag (#ALA2009) so that participants could share their insights about things other than the panels.  (Hashtags let folks search by very specific topics rather than just by name or word.)

I pity conference organizers and classroom teachers who have to deal with this.

There was also a shared/anonymous thread that was -- get this -- apparently censored and shut down by one of the ALA's own.  Yes:  hot librarian self-censorship.  Read all about it here.
