Maine 2nd graders exchange Tweets
ORONO, Maine (AP) -- Twitter, the online social networking service that's become popular with celebrities and politicians, is linking second-grade classes in two Maine towns.
Mrs. White's class in Orono has been Twittering for about a month with Mr. Thompson's class in Greene, exchanging messages that can't exceed 140 characters.
Debbie White said she decided to bring the micro-blogging site to her classroom to help her pupils learn writing skills by composing messages, known as Tweets.
