Should You Twitter? AS I’M FINALLY SITTING IN front of my computer to write this column, I’m frantically following real-time developments at one of the major conferences for web professionals working in higher education: HighEdWeb in Springfield, Mo.
Even though I couldn’t make the trip this year, I can keep up with the greatest insights shared at the opening keynote, learn of the smartest tips presented during multiple sessions, and even get the lowdown on the parties, the food, and the quality of the internet network at the conference site. I’m thousands of miles away, yet I feel very connected to the community of attendees and all the action going on at this conference. Twitter's 2007 blog award obtained de facto a direct pass to broader success with technology aficionados.
