I have a personal Twitter feed which I use for social conversations, putting out info on things I find interesting and a professional feed called @learningcouncil (run a community at www.elearningcouncil.com) I decided to save that feed for items specifically about learning/training/elearning. I'll include some social stuff (for example our community meets for happy hours or when I'm at a conference).<BR/><BR/>Brightkit makes it easy to do this. Will report back on resultsSanjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482307963308694450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-90204373670234932952009-01-21T14:55:00.000-08:002009-01-21T14:55:00.000-08:00PS forgot to mention if you haven't realised co.mm...PS forgot to mention if you haven't realised co.mments service is still working even though it still displays the message shutting down on 11 January.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-70549598028806876142009-01-21T14:53:00.000-08:002009-01-21T14:53:00.000-08:00I think we need to be careful of these statements ...I think we need to be careful of these statements - "Twitter is not a tool for people who are new to social media and the use of social media for personal learning and work." <BR/><BR/>Confess that I'm also guilty of it too however we both know that how an individual interacts and uses an online tool for their learning is very personal. While I'm cautious to recommend Twitter as a tool for most new people I have seen newbies achieve incredible learning and connections using Twitter that they wouldn't have achieved through other sources.<BR/><BR/>What I now say when doing presentation is "my personal learning networks ranks Twitter in the top 5 tools for building your personal learning network. I don't necessarily agree that it is a good starting point but you make the decision yourself. That is why it's personal."<BR/><BR/>Here is <A HREF="http://suewaters.wikispaces.com/twitter" REL="nofollow">my latest information on getting started with Twitter</A> - the site has been very popular. I also wrote a post yesterday about how companies are using twitter for service support that has made me rethink this aspect also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-40816706907578150572009-01-21T11:30:00.000-08:002009-01-21T11:30:00.000-08:00Good points.

I'm just starting to really get my head around who I want to follow and what I personally want to tweet to make it really useful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
