Several people (AJCann was the first) have pointed me to Twitter Friends. I’ve had a look – I rather like the Network tool.
From there I discovered how annoying it would be to follow me on Twitter.
Neither, of course, are to be confused with TweetFriends (which still wasn’t able to explain how either Mendeley_com or Debategraph found me.
Emma, might they be following you because they found in the Twitter Directory? http://www.c4lpt.co.uk/socialmedia/edutwitter.html Jane
Good point!
So how exactly does Twitter work? What does it do?
It’s “micro blogging”. YOu get 140 characters to say what you’re doing. Initially, I just couldn’t see the point, I preferred blogging, as I could prevaricate more about what I was thinking.
Then, I started to realise they serve two different purposes. Twitter is great for quick questions, updates etc.
I don’t see it, for me, ever replacing a blog for “thinking space”. It’s much more for the quick notes etc., And, though I’ve not done it much, entirely usable from a mobile device.
Good to hear from you again! Hope you had a good Christmas & New Year.
