A few weeks ago, however, I was visiting a friend and fellow teacher who asked a more basic question: "so how would I get started with this whole Twitter thing?"

One of the most common dismissals of Twitter sounds something like this, "I don't need to know what a bunch of people had for breakfast." My response to this is always, "if that what you're seeing on Twitter, you're following the wrong people."

Twitter can help academics make and maintain connections with people in their fields, find out about interesting projects and research, or crowdsource questions and technical problems, but it can be difficult to know where to start.

If you're a marketer who has steered clear of Twitter, your (non)strategy may be paying off! It's possible that this Twitter thing may just take care of itself

In fairness, the raw data may be deceptive. Twitter's proponents argue that its numbers appear low because so many people access Twitter via ways other than its Web site

Ewanick says he finds Facebook, which has copied most of Twitter's best features, to be a superior platform.

The TiVo senior programmer from San Jose spent a week modifying his 25-year-old washing machine to send a message to Twitter when his laundry is ready.

The "Friday Night Lights" star is filming "The Chicago Code" in the Windy City. (Show Patrol photo) Matt Lauria misses his "Friday Night Lights" character, Luke Cafferty. The actor wrapped his scenes in Austin, Texas, on a Saturday in late July, hopped a plane to Chicago and began filming Fox's "The Chicago Code" (formerly "Ride-Along") on Monday. He's been working in the Windy City since then, living in Lincoln Park with his musician wife, Michelle Armstrong, trying out the local dining scene and riding bikes on the Lakefront Path. I met with Lauria Saturday to talk about the final season of "FNL," which debuted Oct. 27 on DirecTV 101. "Friday Night Lights" follows the football-loving town of Dillon, Texas, its two high school teams and Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler), who has coached both the teams. Lauria hasn't played any football since wrapping "FNL," but during our chat at The Bourgeois Pig he got a bit sentimental about Luke, the running back who last year was forced to leave the champion Dillon Panthers team and play for Coach with the lowly East Dillon Lions. "I always felt a closeness to Luke ever since he got kicked off the team. I just kind of related to him somehow," Lauria told me. "I'm not a football player, but I just knew where his heart was and how that disappointment felt."
