Twittering
March 13, 2009Oh dear, so many weeks and months have passed since I last updated this page. There’ve been a bit more projects on my desk during the last weeks than I was used to before, and so I kept putting off writing blog entries from day to day …
Not that there wasn’t anything interesting to report; I met a number of fascinating people, read inspiring articles and learned a lot of new things – but I somehow didn’t find enough time to reflect upon all the input.
Last weekend, when I attended the team meeting for an English schoolbook project, I’m currently involved in (www.yourturn.at), coursebook writer Jeremy Harmer enthusiastically told us about Twitter (www.twitter.com), a message service he’d recently used. He’s embedded his Twitter messages into his homepage (www.jeremy-harmer.com) which allows him to quickly update the page with current ideas, thoughts and news right from his mobile phone, if he wishes.
I gave it a try and was instantly drawn into Twitter. It’s a bit like the “What are you doing” status messages known from Facebook, but isn’t overloaded with all those useless applications and games. It’s pure communication, posted either to the public or privately to specific recipients.
If you look on the right hand side of Lernado, you can follow my Twitter timeline and I promise – even if the next longer posting may take a few days … there’s always time for a Tweet in between! :)
