Have you noticed that Twitter has morphed from 'here's what I'm doing' (eating lunch, seeing a movie, etc.), to 'here's some information'?

Yeah, so, I realized that even though your tweets are going to be archived in the Library of Congress for your kids and grandkids to see how you spent your Saturday night, it's possible that I might not need to know...
At the same time, I'm stuck: I want an easy way to have an in-class Twitter feed. It's part of my job to make sure that you do know these tools, even though the class is not really a skills class and much more of a conceptual class. And I think it'd be a rad way to be able to ask questions #SMPASOCIAL
Everyone on the interwebs [click on that, it's a funny link] would think I was the coolest social media prof. ever.
Or maybe, the old just "raising your hand" thing just works fine. And maybe our etherpad is kicking butt. I don't know.
So tell me: Do you want me to know what you did this weekend? In this Mark Zuckerberg world where there is no privacy, actually there is privacy, but we don't need to keep anything private, should it matter?
For the record, I went to my wife's grandma's 80th birthday and saw Amish people. It was pretty rad.
i love that pic, and it actually is twitter-worthy. but i think this discussion points to the larger debate about social media: posting inappropriate tweets or pics, and whether we want the world to know what we ate for lunch. i think the latter is a personal preference, but frankly, i think if there is anything too inappropriate or embarrassing or will put a potential job in jeopardy, then that's a sign it shouldn't be up online. we have all heard the horror stories of folks getting fired, and our generation should simply know the etiquette by now. just don't put it up if you are embarrassed for anyone to see it - including a professor! it simply comes down to having common sense with your online activity.
