Description
Twitter is called micro-blogging because, like a blog, you type what you are doing, reading, thinking, watching, hearing, studying, etc. But because you only get 140 characters in which to express yourself, your tweets (twitter posts) are short bursts of information. Twitter uses RSS feeds, like blogs and other news feeds.
This workshop looks at the many different ways that Twitter can be used: personal and professional interests, educational applications, and with mobile technologies.
Presenters: Melanie Buckner (Outreach College) and Stuart Glogoff
