The three-file output is typical. | LEARNING WITH E'S APRIL 12, 2011  Twitter: it's still about the connections The current consensus is that Twitter is for oldies, and that younger people (particularly those under 30) don't tend to use it. Whilst we must avoid sweeping statements, and accept that some young people do actually use Twitter on a regular basis, some recent polls such as the Pearson and Babson Survey have suggested that only 2% of teachers have used it to communicate with their students. | BRAVE NEW ORG APRIL 12, 2011  Let’s Rename Micro-blogging to Chatting <Note: I call this a ‘popcorn’ post> If you’re on the ole Twitter , or even better, if your organization has implemented a micro-blogging application of some sort, you get it. That is, you probably have a semi-coherent idea of what micro-blogging actually is. Today, what I take umbrage with is the term micro-blogging.
