Hmmmmm, at first glance I have to say, I'm not a Twitter/Tweeting fan. 140 characters sounds like much more than it actually is. I worked diligently to get my thought out and modify as needed to try and get the full thought out, but that was frustrating to me. Am I really that wordy? Hmmm, introspection time. I think I will put that question out to my friends on Facebook, which is the social network I definitely prefer. Is it because I'm used to Facebook, is it because it affords more more space for my ideas? Hmmmmm, I'm not sure.
The best of the Web 2008 was a bit overwhelming. There were a lot of ideas I wanted to click on, I like the idea of the table format, so after reviewing the table I clicked on ThinkFree, which was a neat area to start with. Technology is as mobile as we are, documents are mobile and thus, sitting at a computer may soon become a thing of the past for future generations. I don't think we will ever full get rid of the desk job, but I see changes in the future for business individuals and the future generations and their workplace.
I think some of the best teaching ideas that I've seen using Twitter focus on the fact that students must limit their thoughts to 140 characters. The need to summarize a thought and focus on concision is a skill that Twitter can hone well.
