    A bit of a departure from education per se, but an interesting look at tweeting and where it may be evolving. And if Facebook is now 'old' how soon will it take for Twitter to be old...?

    Something that needs close attention. If one is to be successful with online communication and information access (consider filling out an application form [more and more online only] or a tax form) literacy is imperative. Adult Basic Education seems to be first in line to be cut, which has some pretty major ramifications!
