I signed up for Twitter before I left for the NSTA (National Science Teacher's Association) meeting in New Orleans. They were going to be sending out Tweets about the meeting and updates while we were there. Of course I waited until just before I left and I made a mistake and had either checked a box or unchecked a box, so I didn't get the updates on my cell phone while I was at the meeting. Fortunately the other communication techniques worked well and I learned about the unscheduled appearance by Secretary of Education Duncan. When I got home I fixed the settings and now I get tweets from the NSTA.
I'm not sure about the value of Twitter for my use at this point. I did enjoy the presentation you (Ron) put on the 21st thing about Twitter. It gave me some other uses to think about. I really don't want more texts coming into my cell phone, but could use the Twitter site for more information. I do use facebook so I feel much other the social networking part of this is covered and I have the news feeds coming into my Google reader. I'm thinking that there could be information overload at some point. But, then again.......
