Twitter: Where All The Name-Calling Takes Place

This is just to say thanks to the 6,000 folks who have signed up for my Twitter feed, which includes blog posts from here as well as Five Best Blogs (#5bb), Weekend Reading (#thisweekined), and random exchanges and scuffles like this one between me and TeacherKen about merits of the Joanne Barkan's piece on edu-advocacy and my "sexist" response.  

I know that nobody wants to have another source to check, and that blogs and emails are difficult enough to track, but I have to say that there's stuff going on on Twitter that can be interesting (and is much faster-moving than most blogs).  For example, I broke the Richard Colvin EdSector departure story on Twitter yesterday and only posted a blog entry about it today.

Twitter is something I keep meaning to get involved with. Although I mean to do it I just never seem to get around to doing it though.

Sometimes I just have far more to say than the limited amount of character Twitter lets me use. But having said that, as more and more people are using it, perhaps I should make more of an effort.
