TOP 100 TOOLS
Twitter
Twitter is for staying in touch and keeping up
with friends no matter where you are or what
you’re doing. For some friends you might want
instant mobile updates—for others, you can just
check the web. Invite your friends to Twitter
and decide how connected you want you to be.
Twitter members can display a widget showing
their twitter feed.

I use Twitter as a Personal Learning Network. I
share daily information on resources and tools that I
have found, and I select networks of people to follow
that provide me with their tips, guidelines and tools
that they have found. You can follow me on twitter at

I Twitter daily using the Tweetdeck client on my
desktop and on an iphone. It’s the vital tool in my
personal learning network where I find and share
ideas and links.
Frances Bell
I
use
Twitter to share my thoughts, ideas,
information with others and to learn or get inspired by
others. I love the way professionals use Twitter as a
backchannel during conferences, using tags, adding depth
to presentations and discussions. Microblogging is the
informal learning tool for me.

I avoided Twitter for
some time because I couldn't see the value in it, but
since I talk about Web 2.0 technologies as part of my
job, I eventually decided I should give it a go. And now
I am hooked! And although I enjoy the social aspects, I
have picked up lots of useful information about new
tools, links to websites and quick answers to questions.

I get to know the people whose blogs I follow a little
better by following them and others on Twitter. I can
harvest useful URLs, and get help when I'm struggling
with learning how to create something online, or trying
to fix a misperforming application. And it's just fun!

once my productivity nemesis, has become a valuable
learning tool. Over time, I have built up a small
network of strong links and a slightly larger network of
weak links. I think the primary value comes in two
forms: (1) a wider network and, (2) immediacy. I
couldn't manage it though without
TweetDeck,
a Twitter desktop application
built on Adobe AIR. It helps me manage my Twitter stream
through the use of columns. I am able to separate
followers into different groups and more easily monitor
subject matter, replies, and direct messages.

Big jump since last year. I learn something new several
times a day and stay connected with people that form my
most valuable network. This is the one tool I would
choose if I could only keep one (as long as everyone
else kept it also!).
Barry
Dahl
The best way for
me to keep up with the Flash and eLearning community is
through twitter. I love this microblogging service for
it’s up to the minute community connection. It’s 140
character limit really forces microbloggers to shorten
their entries to the truly necessary information.
Tim
Kindberg
I started using twitter after using yammer, it took
a while before appreciating it. It led me to many
unknown places
Herman Post
I
originally saw Twitter as a useless tool and am on the
record for saying so. However, I’m also connected to a
great group of people on Twitter who freely share their
ideas. Carol
Skyring
This has become another important
tool for me over the last 6 months. I read all the
tweets of the people I follow in the Firefox add-in,
Twitterfox, and I use
Twitterfeed to
send my own RSS feeds into my Twitter accounts.

Comments from those who selected Twitter as one
of their Top 10 Tools in 2008
-
"Another one I'm addicted to! I can keep
up to date with what lots of people are doing in
my area (elearning, community and social media):
the links and comments people post and the
discussions they have are invaluable. It can
really be a community."
Helen Whitehead
-
"Although it seems to be a playfull tool with also a lot of
irrelevant messages it is a nice way to stay in touch with
other professionals and to get fast responses to your
learning questions. I also get a lot of new insights from
other people messages (with news, interesting sites, new
developments etc.). "
Marcel de
Leeuwe
-
"it took me awhile to get Twitter, but once I built a network
of colleagues, I found Twitter was my first source of

Ian Usher
- "La revelación de 2007. Una tontería
sin la que me habría perdido un montón de cosas. Tan
útil como adictiva. Con todo, no creo que a Twitter
le quede mucho recorrido, ya que hay proyectos en
marcha -desde
Google o
no- que le pueden dar el golpe de gracia en
cualquier momento. [The revelation of 2007. A
triviality without which there would be lost a pile to
me of things. As useful as addictive. Yet, I do not
believe that to Twitter it has left much route, since
there are projects in march - from Google or No that can
give the grace blow at any time him]"
Emilio
Quintana
- "I've called this IM on speed. I
didn't get it at first (who cares if you're eating
breakfast and then brushing your teeth), but I've found
it a great way to stay in touch with my network and get
answers to questions on the fly. Talk about just-in-time
learning."
