My how the web 2.0 winds blow. It’s been about a week since my last blog post about twitter (sounds sort of like a confessional- “post 5 hail tweets and…”). Last week, right during the first day of Faculty Academy, twitter got really flaky. It would display tweets, but most tweets made just went into […]
It’s good to see a bit more of attribution by linking, or coined here as “Linktribution” in blog posts.
