Sep 16, 2009 at 10:31 PM Thank you for the opportunity to answer this question. I opened a Twitter account however I do not Twitter because I feel uncomfortable in the environment. I think perhaps it is not so much what the tool offers as how it is used.
I can see quite a bit of usefulness for 'stream of consciousness' communication especially to engage in reflective practice and develop succinct writing.
However the way Twitter is used socially seems very intrusive and I find I cannot imagine why anyone would wish to see the passing fabric of my day to day life. I feel uncomfortable seeing theirs.
