Apart from the Twitter Notes, the other articles have already appeared on this blog.
Yes, I know it’s a bit late – busy with ‘stuff’ and, I confess, enjoying life*.
If you follow my blog you will have already seen the main articles but not the Twitter Notes which are bits and pieces I’ve picked up on Twitter. They are mostly comments and links to articles I’ve found interesting with a few slightly silly things. On the surface the Onion News Network Youtube video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sThcwmx3rs&feature=youtu.be may seem ‘silly’ but actually highlights how much information we divulge on social networks.
The latest Tales from the Terminal Room is now available at http://www.rba.co.uk/tfttr/archives/2012/sep2012.shtml and features:
Search Strategies goes electronic
Million Short: unearthing stuff hidden in the dungeons of Google’s results

Twitter Notes
If you are a regular reader of this blog the main articles will not be new to you. Twitter Notes are some of my tweets and retweets that I’ve selected because they contain links to resources or announcements that may be of general interest. I have unshortened the shortened URLs so you have a better idea of where the links are going to and in some cases added extra comments.
