Twitter

I have had a Twitter for about a year now, and am finally getting the hang of it. I love it! Twitter is a social networking website that allows its users to send and read messages called "tweets," which are posts of up to (only!) 140 characters displayed on the your page. All you do is go to Twitter.com and set up a free account. You can work on your "bio," and then search for friends, interests, celebrities, and even news and sports websites. Now your ready to tweet. I see this as a sort of "microblog," or a Facebook with only status updates, tagging, and friending. I think this might be a good tool to use in the classroom for things like classroom projects, or even a way to communicate with your students, much like we did in 486.
