Random follow #190 - @genebrarian

@genebrarian is a tweeter whose life is dedicated to the sharing of knowledge via the written word.  And that dedication is to more than your average book but it extends to genealogy as well.  Seonaid helps connect the links and lines across family lines that have either faded or may even have been lost over time.

Librarians make really neat tweeters.  Why?  Because they have so much exposure to resources, articles and items of knowledge that many of us in our day to day lives don't have the opportunity to see.  So as you scroll through your timeline it can be like a second hand bookstore.  You never know what gems or nuggets of gold may appear that have been filed away and gathered dust and all they needed was a polish and a dust to reveal their real worth and value.

This is a very eclectic twitter account.  There are a whole range of tweets, topics and themes that flow through from her very interesting brain, through the website, across the interwebz and into your timeline.  I really enjoy seeing them come through.  Lets have a look at what some of them look like - 

There are lessons in anatomy and physiology -->

"News that my "right-hand woman" has actually broken her foot, rather than just sprained an ankle, does not fill me with confidence :-("

She gets to hang out with some amazing people thanks to amazing opportunities - 

"I have an invite - to the British Consul on Wednesday night. YAY! Socialise with Dr Jo Appleby keynote presenter at http://www.nzfamilyhistoryfair.org.nz "

And she also shares some real words of wisdom - 

"Youth are unpredictable. Give them opportunities to try - they’ll go back to experiences they enjoy. Let them have their space invite you in"


@genebrarian on its own is a really neat twitter name.  And if you haven't figured out how it works after my explanation above try taking another look.  So what he have really is a fantastic mix of skills, career, lifes passion and genuine intellect.  If you are looking to change up your timeline, interact with someone who is genuine and will keep you on your toes then @genebrarian is just the lady for you.
