Happy New Year my dear regular readers (and casual browsers)!
My first UB column for 2009 (actually it’s the one that was scheduled for the December 2008 issue) is now available in the January issue as well as online: “Should You Twitter? Real and effective communication, 140 characters at a time”
Here’s a quick excerpt to give you a reason to read the column:
Wondering why you should read a column about a web service powering the dissemination of 140-character messages?
Here’s a short, 140-character answer about Twitter: It can help individuals and institutions reach out to their network to share info, request help, organize, and update everyone in real time.
A bit dry, I know. [The column includes] a few more examples to illustrate the long answer.

Hi Karine:
I think 2009 is going to be the tipping point for twitter. I spent the better part of my Christmas break trying to learn and get involved in what’s going on in the twittersphere.
Glad to see you are finding it useful in the world of Higher Ed. I’m not sure how many of my students are going to use it just yet. But I am hoping that many on the staff and faculty of our institutions will dive in.
