So he was crafting his presentation as a live Skypecast, and he mentioned that he had just put a message out on Twitter inviting anyone online to Skype-in and discuss with him how they were using these tools themselves.

Jeff recorded his presentation as a description of what he was doing at his computer in Shanghai while walking us through how he was using Skype and other social networking tools to connect with his professional network from there. I ‘finally got’ Twitter when I heard Jeff Utecht’s presentation entitled Online Professional Development, podcast as part of the 2007 K-12 online conference.

In fact, as with many other milestones in our lives, Twitter’s aficionados can most likely recall the moment when they ‘finally got’ Twitter - and many have documented these moments in a wiki set up by Alan Levine here. Coincidentally this happens to be a text-length that encourages brief and succinct responses to the question, “What are you doing right now?” But if that’s as far as you’ve got with Twitter you’re a long way from fully appreciating it. Now to fill in some details: Twitter is currently (in this present nanosecond) the most popular of the genre of ‘microblogging’ tools that emulate SMS messaging but fall short of blogging by whatever you can say in a blog beyond a very short text message of 140 characters (the maximum permissible length of an SMS text message when sending 8 bit data).

Updates are displayed on the user’s profile page and instantly delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them.

(as it appeared June 25, 2008): “Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send “updates” (or “tweets” text-based posts, up to 140 characters long) to the Twitter web site, via the Twitter web site, short message service (SMS), instant messaging, or a third-party application such as Twitterrific or Facebook. What is Twitter? According to Wikipedia, Still today, many are saying “Who needs it? Why?” Others are saying “WE need it, bring it back!!” Twitter was an idea that converged with a need few even knew existed. But this Internet niche has proven durable, compelling, mildly addictive even, and integral to the workflow of the most ostentatiously connected educators and knowledge workers. Nevermind that till Twitter’s release in 2006 there hadn’t even been a microblogosphere. When I decided to write this article, Twitter was riding the crest of a wave sweeping the microblogosphere.
