Twitter

I created an account, poked around some on the ALA and #ALA2009 posts, but felt like I was intruding on someone else's party. So I deleted the account.

The most recent news item I heard about Twitter was from my son's college, UT Dallas. One of the profs there used Twitter in her lecture class. She had her Twitter page projected up on the screen behind her, and students could ask questions during her lectures. A grad student videotaped a couple of sessions and reported the project on YouTube, which caught the interest of U.S. News & World Reports, and was then mentioned in an article on technology.
