Twitter – Let’s Not Get Too Excited

There’s a lot of hype around suggesting that Twitter is the new king of social networks. These graphical representations by mkandlez knock such claims on the head.

Since my first tweet in November 2008, I’m now in regular contact with some of the leading figures in the British and international education IT community. I doubt I would have such a useful and productive network without Twitter.

While I personally don’t “do” Facebook, my better half (she really is!) uses it as her primary tool for keeping family and friends up-to-date. Due to their very nature, Facebook-like sites will always be the favourite, at least until social network aggregation/consolidation sites like Silentale come of age.
