Week5 #11 Twitter

Filed Under (Uncategorized) by Susan Geiger on 24-03-2009



I love Twitter. It’s a bit hard to explain to folks who don’t use it. It’s basically micro blogging with a 140 character limit. It’s easy to make fun of as in the recent Doonesbury cartoon featuring the twittering news anchor.  It depends on your network how useful it can be.  My network is all very academic and also amazing.

My lastest tip from Twitter is Academic Earth which is described as Hulu for academic course content. You can read about it in this blog post from Tech Crunch. It aggregates all the online course video. Hulu gathers and stores commercial video content–like your favorite TV shows.
