Twitter

   Posted by: Jeffrey    in Learning & Teaching, Power & Positionality

TwitterI started using Twitter, and find it full of possibilities. This is a social media community site where the simple question: "What are you doing?" is given 160 characters (get it? 160 is the texting limit) that in turn sends the comment to anybody entered as a "friend" or "follower." Claimed as a time-waster by some, I have not decided yet, but am intrigued with the idea. BTW, direct texts can be sent to "friends" using the site as well. I have this listed on my site as well to try it out.

I wonder what this may mean for access to information. Isn't knowledge power?

Thank you, Beth, for pointing out Stephen Downe's review of Paul Anderson's "What is Web 2.0? Ideas, technologies and implications for education." Great stuff!

It is lightly snowing in New York City this morning, so I took a few shots with my Palm to share.
