Seems like all the cool kids in my field use it, so if I don't what does that mean? I've accepted that I'm an outsider and a dork but when I don' t 'listen in" on the tweets I feel like I'm falling behind in something more than the latest gossip--it's a form of professional development to stay current. But I also feel that participating is like being someone's media wh*re or licking the popular boy's shoes. LOL Seriously, I just switch it off when I'm sick of the whole thing and get back on when I feel like it or have free time. Same with hanging out in the edublogosphere, I might add. Please, who can you send me to who might answer my questions about fixing my edublogs.org space since the Christmas 2007 updates disabled my old theme? Thanks!

In other words, act as a reference/referring tool <a href="http://web20teach.blogspot.com/2007/08/twitter-tweets-for-higher-education.html" rel="nofollow"> this post</a> will help you get started :) BTW I can't see my details with white writing on a yellow back ground, and can you add in the Preview module? :) Thanks dear Hi James,

I just don't understand the Twitter phenomenon. I feel like it has become some kind of digital fraternity. Or it is like my childhood days when the CB radio was all the rage in the states. I would sit and talk to strangers for hours on that thing, but basically we said nothing. It seems as if people are trying so hard to find an educational application for Twitter, but I still don't see one. Can anyone explain the big deal to me? James,
