The Best from the eLearning Learning Community

Once people have found out I’ve been using Twitter for all of about 4 months now they think I’m an expert (I’m not, and do not profess to be) and keep asking me; what is it all about, then?

A few days ago, I reached that point where you can’t hear any more bullshit without correcting it.  I actually called into a radio station to correct yet another pundit who, on the basis of the name alone or maybe 10 minutes worth of playing, thinks they understand Twitter, and worse, that they can summarily dismiss anyone who uses it as flaky....  This post is not for those people who are just willfully ignorant or worse, active luddites who are resisting what Twitter is about just to resist change.
