Have you wondered about twitter? Read this excellent article about what it is and ISN'T. In the last two weeks I have found 200+ math/stats teachers and elearning professionals.

"Unlike other social media technologies that skew younger, Twitter's demographic is the mid-career professionals who use the technology to extend professional networks, share expertise, and otherwise increase the scope and breath of the resources they can draw on to be successful. In my case, I have a network of 800+ professional colleagues through whom I can access a vast pool of knowledge, expertise, and wisdom. This network also helps my find and make sense of relevant industry news and events. This is the part about Twitter that new users and uninformed pundits miss. You can't experience the "network effect" until you have a network. It takes time, patience, and active cultivation to create your own personalized network.
