It made me laugh when I watched the video clip on Twitter this week. It pointed out that most of our everyday lives are hidden from the people that we care about. At the same time these little things that we do don't warrant a email being sent because they really don't "need" to know about these things but yet that is what Twitters main use is: allowing anyone and everyone who subscribes to your account to find out about these "finer details" of our everyday life.
Many people (my middle school students included) spend a decent amount of time each day finding about the aspects in everyone elses lives. I feel that its gotten to a point that sometimes it borders on stalking but yet those that have a twitter account are basically putting their lives out there for everyone to see and stalk. So because of this it is more acceptable.
I do however like the idea of using twitter as a way of getting feedback after a class or conference. It allows the feedback to be front and center (and save trees in the process). It is a quick way to recap since it is so readily available on multiple devices.
