@Marcel Nothing wrong with fitting the Category 1 — I know of a lot of experience elearning people who don’t enjoy using it. I know it sounds weird but the every day stuff is part of the whole package on twitter. You do get really good at filtering it as you multitask more.

Ning does get me excited but unfortunately it is really hard to maintain people’s contribution to the community whereas I don’t have these same issues with blogging. The only Ning community that I’ve seen continue to go well is Classroom 2.0 and that I believe relates to the number of participants. And Classroom 2.0 is a good way for new educators to build their own personal learning networks.

Hi Sue,

I am another one who is not a twitterite. So I would classify myself in category 1. Web2 gurus I respect swear by it. I just haven’t got into it. Admittedly I have very few people on there. But it just has no appeal, particularly the irrelevant comments about day-to-day things. Too much time consumption. I think it would be much more useful if you could determine the type of message: work, play, private, etc. And then the user could filter according to the type of content they desire.

On the other hand Ning gets me quite excited. The “place” that Ning sites provide are on the one hand restrictive (limited push) but at the same time it provides safety and identity: important social elements.

@Beth Yes I wrote the post then remembered you were off to Hawaiii (sorry). I enjoyed reading your blog posts and was pleased to see you spend time with your family checking out Hawaii (bit jealous). Don’t stress.

What’s been the most interesting aspect from this post is the number of people who have read it, then read my Quick Tips post and then joined twitter. People that had been reluctant in the past to use it.

@Robyn Clarke I also feel uncomfortable when I tweet at someone and get no response. Unfortunately there are some people who either aren’t into conversations or only have them with select number of people. There are also many bloggers that are like that; who don’t respond back to people in comments.

You soon work out how is interested in conversation and who isn’t. I regularly go through my replies and respond back to people because conversations is what I’m interested in when using twitter. I love the funny tweets too.

@Murcha it’s not fair that life gets in our way but that is how it goes. Must admit I will be glad to reach the end of the year and have holidays. It’s nice to hear that people were supportive of you. Twitter is a major part of my personal learning.

@Kerry Many of my friends use Twitter to let others know of new resources available. Twitter temporary? Not sure – microblogging is evolving and there are lots of different options available. People will use twitter while it suits their purpose; if a better option comes along they will change.
