Seven years, seven lives changed by Twitter - 0 views

  •  
    Twitter has also been a crucial tool for revolutionaries in Iran, Egypt and elsewhere. It's been used to mobilize relief efforts and raise millions for charitable causes. It's become a national water cooler for chatter about big televised events such as the Oscars and the Super Bowl. And while Twitter sometimes reveals the stupid side of celebrity culture, it's also brought fans closer to their favorite actors, musicians, writers and athletes than was ever possible before. Twitter has, in fact, changed lives.

The Twitter-Informed Parent: Finding Ideas, Advice and Support Online - 0 views

  •  
    "Now, there are more than 70 education-related chats on Twitter (see a list here, from retired teacher and librarian Jerry Blumengarten, @cybraryman1), like #ccss (Common Core State Standards), #mathchat and #gtchat (gifted and talented)-not to mention parenting chats. While principals like Eric Sheninger (@NMHS_principal) and Joe Mazza (@joe_mazza) are leading a movement to use Twitter for teacher professional development and family engagement, Twitter has also become a rich environment where parents form valuable bonds with one another, regardless of geographic or other boundaries."

Twitter announces Vine for Android, available today - 0 views

  •  
    "Twitter announced on Monday that its long-awaited Vine app for Android smartphones will soon be available. Vine requires Android 4.0 or higher, and though many features from the iOS app are currently missing, Twitter says that the Android version will soon have all of the features currently available on iOS. Things such as front-facing camera support, search, mentions and hashtags, and even Facebook sharing are planned to arrive in the coming weeks. But Android users are getting one unique feature that's not available for iOS: zoom. Twitter also alluded to future features that "can only exist on the Android platform.""

How does #Edchat connect educators? - 0 views

  •  
    "#Edchat began on Twitter three years ago. Like dog years, three years in social media time is much longer. Back then, there were far fewer educators exchanging ideas on Twitter. Twitter was only beginning to emerge as a serious method of collaboration for educators. Celebrities dominated the network and got great media coverage about their tweets. Serious use of Twitter by educators for collaboration was never covered by the media. It was not media worthy."

Facebook terms and conditions: why you don't own your online life - Telegraph - 0 views

  •  
    "What rights have users granted to online services such as Facebook, Twitter and Google? Does posting content on these networks mean forfeiting your ownership of your photos, for example? A photo posted on Twitter remains the intellectual property of the user but Twitter's terms give the company "a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense)". In practice, that gives Twitter almost total control over the image and the ability to do just about anything with it. The company claims the right to use, modify or transmit it your photo any way."

Twitter and Facebook tied in high school popularity contest - 0 views

  •  
    When asked "What is the one website, social network, or app that you could not live without?" Facebook was the clear winner at 24 percent for students of all ages. Google came in at a distant second with 7 percent, and Twitter was in third place with 3 percent. But perhaps the most interesting finding was that high schoolers were twice as likely as college students, and 6x more likely than graduate students, to say they couldn't live without Twitter.

Instead of enduring hours-long workshops a few times a year, teachers could reach out to peers on the Internet in real time for advice on things like planning a lesson (or salvaging a lesson that's going wrong), overcoming classroom management problems, or helping students with disabilities."

The Ignored Side of Social Media: Customer Service - 0 views

  •  
    If you are like millions of consumers around the globe, you jump on Twitter, Facebook, your social media site-du-jour or your blog, and complain to friends, family, followers and the world about the lousy service you are experiencing. Perhaps you even locate the company's Twitter handle, if it has one, and complain directly. Will people there answer? How quickly? Will they actually help? And will you go back on social media and report you are now a satisfied customer, or fume even more about their misguided (or lack of) response?
