Twitter

Twitter is said to be ranked third in social networking next to FaceBook and MySpace.

The following article 'Tweeting' Between Students, Faculty Gains Popularity at Princeton discusses how "microblogging" has become very popular and how it might bring faculty and students closer through the sharing of personal details of their lives. Even though this may be through an informal setting - how much sharing is too much? So much is pulled out of context in social networking comments, that one might think twice about sharing much with students.

  1. Sounds interesting, I'll have to check out the article. It doesn't surprise me that Twitter is ranked third. I just wish I knew what pushed it from obscurity to popularity - what was its tipping point?

    It's been around for at least two years so why now? What happened? Who jumped on board and brought it to stardom?

    And, what will be the next Twitter?

    BTW, I meant to tell you I love your little photo slide show. What a great idea to have fun photos entertain you while you're doing homework! :)
