May 14, 2008 – Silence and Voice

I am explaining Twitter to my Leadership class. Say hello to them. #
@arjunsingh Thank you for the shout out, Arjun. They said hello in return! #
@nnoakes Hello back to you, Nick. Thank you! #
@dmcordell You are so right. Thank you for saying hello, and I will send these new leaders to you in six weeks when the course ends. #
@arjunsingh Technology never ceases. #
@dougsymington Thank you, Doug. Travel safely to lead another day! #
@butwait Thank you for the reference. I will pass that along to my students on our #Blackboard page. #
@etheoreal What do you think about it? #cp2tech01 #
@injenuity Sorry for the delay! The # as in #cp2tech01 is so that our online group @cp2tech01 can follow one another via http://twemes.com/ #
Dragging this morning. Too bad, as it is beautiful outside today. #
Welcome to the Twitterverse, @Catalina_h #
@MBisanz Welcome to the Twitterverse. When will you update? #
@Monie Welcome to the Twitterverse. #
Twitter seems slow right now. Perhaps because my students are opening accounts? #
@dmcordell I talked about this here http://twitter.com/JeffreyKeefer/statuses/811086275, but think a blog post may be in order. On my list! #
Gooing to Starbucks. Wonder of a four shot latte is enough this morning? #
Exploring Netvibes with @etheoreal and @bronst as part of a #cp2tech01 mini-field trip and tool exploration. #

Did you see, or rather hear, Sue Simmons on NBC in New York curse? Take a look:

See what happens with real-time authenticity? Those of us who work with media outlets (including online ones such as a blog or Twitter) never know when things may just come out, as if on their own Who hasn’t done something like this (and if not yet, just wait . . .)!

Is society getting more corrupt? More free? Perhaps values are not even the issue–perhaps the rapidity of information exchange and heightened authenticity? What are some of the repercussions? Dangers? Opportunities? Challenges? Benefits?

I do not think this is an area for concern, after all. Gas just went to $4.03 by me. We are still in a war with no end in sight. The housing market is a disaster. Thousands just died in Myanmar and China. Tibet is imprisoned. The Democrats are (again) destroying themselves. Polar Bears are listed as threatened. Tuition is up.

Need I go on? Sue is a real person. Did we ever expect otherwise?
