I had this Twitter argument today with former coworker, fellow web developer and friend Bryan Hughes: bucchere: The Spring Framework is driving me crazy. If this were Rails, I'd be done already....... [view]

Posted By:  bucchere Posted On:  Aug 14, 2008	Are Twitter Replies Fundamentally Broken?
Has anyone noticed that Twitter replies are fundamentally broken? Or, I should say, at least the "Replies" *tab* is jacked. This isn't another "Twitter is down" post -- this is about a feature that...... [view]

Posted By:  aisfan Posted On:  May 17, 2008	why twitter is better than facebook
Ok ... so that is not completely true. I enjoy both but I have found twitter surprisingly powerful. The two features I enjoy most on facebook are the picture and status updates. I find those two apps give the best sense for who an individual is. Twitter does a great job of both of those features...... [view]

Posted By:  aisfan Posted On:  May 18, 2008	favequest to take over the world
In due time. I promised a couple of blogs ago that I would tell you a bit more about where we are headed here at favequest. So why did I then get into twitter on my last post? I've realized that, although some people have heard the name, they don't know what it is and why they should care. This...... [view]

I had a very interesting experience today as my doctoral cohort met with Dr. Fred Hunsaker , Utah state legislator.

After hearing the Twitterati start buzzing about identi.ca I thought I would give it a try. After all micro-blogging is about the conversation and where the my people go, I will follow. I signed on, and was happy to note that I could use my liveID, which meant an easy and effortless process....... [view]

Parties I find it interesting that I've been lumped in with others as an ed-tech insider. The difficult thing about these perceptions is that those on the inside likely don't know it. I remember Stephen Downes commenting recently that he's felt just like new bloggers may feel - likes he's...... [view]

Posted By:  darrendraper Posted On:  Jun 25, 2008	Twittering To Learn
Many of the people in my Twitter network appear to be in it for the learning. Largely, they come from an education background and seem to enjoy rubbing shoulders with those from whom they learn. In their book entitled Distance Education: A Systems View , Moore and Kearsley (2005) explain, in...... [view]

Posted By:  Rahaf Posted On:  Jun 18, 2008	SES Toronto - Is Twitter A Time Waster?
I felt this panel was a little over specific. Maybe instead of talking about Twitter, the panel could have focused on micro-blogging trends. In fact, I would have loved to hear their thoughts on the entire market including friendfeed.com and other social aggregators that are forcing marketers...... [view]

Well, not quite yet. We still have about 4 more hours to go before we leave for florida. It should be tons of fun. I’m bringing the new camera with and I’m hoping to shoot at least 100 photos a day, so I will most likely be uploading some as we go along, if WordPress can handle it,...... [view]
