Using Twitter in libraries

Phil Bradley wrote a post on his blog about the possible uses of Twitter in libraries.
My library has an account on Twitter (@usfplib). I simply feed the RSS of the library’s blog into it. Since my blog covers events, people, new resources, hours, services etc. I’m pretty well covered. I’m wondering though if it would ever be used for reference by patrons. I see it as another way of reaching out to my users.

As the first USF librarian at the Lakeland campus (now Polytechnic), I opened the USF Polytechnic Library in January 2007 and have developed its various services.
I've held positions as information broker, Internet consultant and academic librarian in Canada, the US and Europe.
A blogger since 2001, I've created and maintained several sites in, and outside, of the biblioblogosphere.
I'm active in SLA, and currently serve as Chair of the Information Technology Division.
