jeff,
It isn't for everyone but I think it is a great way to get a small community of people you respect in your profession/interest and share your knowledge.
There will be a lot of consolidation in twitter, this next year. Meaning, people are getting fed up with those who just self promote and want to gain followers. It isn't about that and I see the devolution of twitter as the future. Small micro groups.
Have you ever been at a conference where they've used twitter. I did one event and pulled up many of the best teachers in ELT. The audience asked questions and they tweeted in real time. Amazing collaboration in bite size.
You can follow many of the best in ELT on my Live Twitter page. Constantly changes. Here's the public one - larger one on EFL Classroom 2.0.

| It seems followers on Twitter are those who live with their iPhones or PDAs in their hands 24/7. That's not everyone. |

A lot of people do have their iPhones PDAs in their hands nearly 24/7...and they blog, facebook and twitter.
where does one draw the line with this stuff!
a lot of it is because people are narcissistic, too. |
