For a long time I couldn’t see the use in it, but now Twhirl is one of the first programs I open each morning. It’s a great communication tool on many different levels.

For me and my “network” it’s more about advancing our ideas. We are a group of progressive educators who try to get teachers and decision makers to think out of the box. Our circle uses Twitter, for example, to share examples of great teaching practices. We blog about these contantly and share great ideas. It is a non-linear effort to push people out of their comfort zone to teach students IN their comfort zone!

I've also never really used IRC. I am getting addicted quickly to Twitter in just the few days. Mostly you're listening in on other people's thoughts. A lot of my tweets today revolved around the football games. Will your life be changed by having read them? Not at all, but you would know I was a football fan so you get to know me a little better. I think things like that help build closer relationships with people. There's something very informal about it making ties a little stronger. People post links there as they're reading. All you have to do is copy and paste the URL and add a word or two. It's so easy that some things will be posted there before anywhere else. You get to see people with their guard down a little more and I've sent messages back and forth with people who might not have been so quick to talk to me in another medium. It's very easy to use. Sign up and grab yourself one of the tools to follow along. I'm using Twitbin in my sidebar on Firefox, but there are a few others. Check Carline's guide. I think it lists them all. In some ways it's exactly what I thought it might be, but in other ways it's completely different. It is fun, though. I’ve only been using Twitter for a few days so I won’t pretend to be an expert.
