Only twits twitter??

I said I would never do it - I would never join Twitter. Only twits twittered. It was the most narcissistic of all the social networking tools. Who cares what I think?

I still think that that's true in the many celeb tweets, where people say really thoughtless and indiscreet things. I really don't care if Graham Smith's girlfriend thinks he's a stallion (ugh!) I don't care what Paris Hilton is bleating about.

But today, I increased my Personal Learning Network by one tool - Twitter. I've chosen to follow people who have similar interests in ICT and Education - and you know what? It is fascinating!

Out of the blue I found a tweet from a teacher who said "Connectivity involves more than mere physical access to the internet; it also involves connection to the minds of learners" Wow! Twit? I don't think so!

So now I have yet another tab open on my computer, and more to read. It's exciting. I admit it - I am now an official TWIT!
