Twitter

I have been wondering lately-what is the deal with this twitter thing? All I'v seen of it so far is people constantly updating their status. Generally with information I don't care about like "watching TV" or "going to work". It seems like facebook 'status' gone crazy. Take a look at this blog: http://theopenclassroom.blogspot.com/ She has a lot of excellent links that talk about how we as teachers can use twitter as a tool. There are a lot of ideas that i never would have thought of. Its pretty neat.
