Find me on Twitter @JaneBozarth. Keep an eye out for my Twitter avatar. I'm going to get in trouble for leaving folks out. SO: I hope to see you there. I'm onsite all week. Even if you're not in one of my sessions, please hunt me down and say howdy.

Every Thursday evening there's a great fun live gathering on Twitter called #lrnchat. I recently threw out an idea to organizers of a large conference, saying that I'd like to host a 'Twitter event' during the conference. Begin by typing #lrnchat into the Twitter search box. Join us on Thursday nights, 8:30 ET, 5:30 PT.

Through social media, especially Twitter, I have cultivated a network of smart, funny, interesting people who have never failed to come through when I asked for something. I think this is why it disturbs me to hear some people who are so dismissive of social media and online interactions and distant or "loose" connections.

Some Twitter folks are getting together to discuss "how people learn" as evidenced in King's On Writin g and Gawande's Complications. Both books are examples of adult learners who learn through practice/reflect on learning. Interested? Details are at the Training Book Review blog.

I especially love that it helps, in a rapid-fire chat that as often as not includes new people or people who otherwise aren't very tightly connected, give just a bit of insight into the human behind the Twitter account: what interests them, what energizes them, what they struggle with. Also what expertise or specialty they might have.

Clark Quinn, Cammy Bean, Steve Sorden and I have been having a Twitter discussion about buzzwords associated with e-learning. The conversation quickly showed that once-useful concepts are often cannibalized and reduced down to little more than hype for the marketing and the misguided. For more, read Clark's excellent post, "Less than Words."

The weekly #lrnchat sessions (Thursdays, 8:30 pm ET) on Twitter are fast, lively, interesting conversations centered around 3 or 4 key learning/training-related questions per session. They don't have to log in to another site, they don't have to jump through a lot of setup. They don't have to endure an "icebreaker". And it's fun.

And remember in developing objectives to keep an eye on the rock-bottom performance goal: Don’t get eaten by bears. Other problems with training objectives? Perhaps we’ll expand on some of these in a future column.

Any hour, day or night, there are dozens of people on Twitter who want to talk about things I didn’t know I wanted to talk about. For about US.17/minute 17/minute I can also call most landlines worldwide from anywhere in the world without racking up extra charges on my cell plan. Can’t beat that.
