I think your <a href="http://alecrjohnston.com/social-media-14/" rel="nofollow">last post</a> was spot-on for offline social networking, and the same rules apply in online social networking. You don't gain influence in the Twitter community just by speaking, you have to listen and engage. You’re exactly right.

More importantly, though, I want to say that this is something I've finally realized in the last couple weeks. For quite some time, you were praising the virtues of Twitter, but I didn't get what the point of it was. I had my account and said something every now and then. But, I didn't really treat it as an ambient info stream. Granted, you won't see any immediate benefit from being active online, if you think you have something worthwhile to say, say it. Everyone has opinions on what matters to them. Find other people who want to discuss those topics that matter to you, and join in their discussions. You can't treat Twitter as a provided service. Instead, take an active part in it. Communicate with people interested in the same things as you. I don't want to write a very lengthy reply here, but I am planning on touching on a lot of this stuff on my blog post next week. Alec www.alecrjohnston.com First, thanks for mentioning me.

It's a pre-hacked version of Drupal that's geared towards extending the physical classroom with social networking and online collaborative elements. Because it's Drupal, it's definitely extensible, if not extremely portable. While I'm sure it's not going to be a panacea for extending classrooms to the net, I think it's definitely a step in the right direction.

After a long break from academia, building up my work experience in the tech world, i decided to go get my Masters in Education Communication and Technology, and am loving it. I have been advocating as much as possible for people to use all the collaboration tools, and have made it known that i hate all LMS's in existence. From Sakai, to Blackboard, I'm not seeing any true innovation. There is zero portability, and minimal extensibility. As you mentioned computers and applications, which in my opinion include LMS, are not solutions, rather they are extensions of the environment in which the student could learn. So having an LMS that is supposed to be a solution is rather confining. It should breath extensibility much like some other social media applications do. Hopefully that is where the trend is going, but I guess we will see. Great post, I am an flash/flex developer and am in the business of making web apps.

It obviously runs all the Google apps well, and if I crash Firefox it's nice not to lose mail. Are you using WP2.6 with its Gears support? How's it working out for you?
