I'm so pleased to see that folks are still finding my "Newbie Guide" useful. :-)<br><br>And you've reminded me that I need to update the page to include <a href="http://www.tweetertags.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tweetertags.com/</a>, yet another great Twitter add-on that I think is going to help us all find folks who might make good additions to our personal learning networks (PLN's).

I'm going to check them out and we'll definitely add them to our diigo collection. It's especially useful to know of alternatives to blocked sites for teachers in k-12 environments.

There is also edmodo (http://www.edmodo.com) which is a microblogging application specifically for education. Edmodo is a viable alternative for teachers in districts where twitter is either blocked or discouraged due to its openness.
