on Twitter
Listening to TWiT 91 over the weekend, I was really interested in the discussion on Twitter and how engaged in it some of the panelists were. For those not familiar with it I encourage you to go have a look. Its another social networking service that gives you 140 characters to type in what your'e doing right now. You can make this pretty public, setup a group of friends etc, send messages via the web, IM (AIM, Gtalk, .Mac, LiveJournal, Jabber) or your mobile phone. Having only just setup its pretty hard to really get the networking benefits just yet but it looks like an interesting way to collaborate and I am guessing could have some pretty interesting applications in educational settings. I understand there is a Google Earth mashup so that location can be incorporated which wouldbe really interesting. There's an api to mess around with and some snippets of code to embed into your sites which look pretty useful to.
