What they tweet can be read by anyone in any circumstance. Particularly in light of the recent flame by a blogger out looking for blood. And also I just unfollowed someone tonight who has sworn a few times- if I am in class and kids read that tweet it doesn't set a very good example. You never know who will be in class in what time zone! Maybe a word to the wise for newbies would be for them to be aware the Twitter timeline is very public and very findable.

Interesting stuff. Maybe the demographic of those that filled in the survey meant that most had been with Twitter for a reasonable amount of time. Maybe it's an echo chamber thing as well- we talk to each other and everyone else lurks- too shy to fill in a form. I know I still get a kick out of linking up with new people on Twitter- especially people with a voice. To a large degree the changes to who sees tweets has left me somewhat unchanged as a lot of the people who I follow, follow other people that I follow too so we all still see everyone else's tweets, or at least I think I do and if I feel I am missing out on some discussion I search for all tweets using the tweets name and get more of the conversation that way. I hate to say it but it is addictive- I know check Twitter before I check my multiple email accounts. Maybe Twitter attracts those with addictive personality traits. Maybe you should have asked the question. Would you rate yourself as having an obsessive compulsive personality disorder in which case Twitter could well be the ICT tool of choiceQ I’m impressed with the amount of work you put into this survey.

It's a good overview of the reasons Twitter is useful for educators. Thanks for putting this survey together and collating the results.
