Okay the title for this post is not very original, but hey it is Thursday morning!
Well, I started my Twitter page and I am not sure about the use of this technology. Yes, it can be fun to stay connected using this, but I the educational prospects are not clear. I did watch the Chronicle of Higher Ed video, but I didn't see the connection the professor was making about it adding value to student learning. I still view this as an extension of IM (that has can stay around longer) or text messaging. Of course this may be related to my desire to express my thoughts out in a longer format that is provided using a Blog and does not work well with a 140 character limit per post.
How many posts would I have to make to get my feelings about Twitter posted on Twitter? I think it would be about 7-10 posts without taking the time to count characters.
I suppose that I am just tenative about this and it will take some time. I am not sure if it will work for me, but I am willing to give it a try for awhile. Putting Darwin's theory of only the strong survive, I suppose time will tell, if people really find it useful, it will survive, if not it will attrophy and die out.
