Chapter 6 The Social Web/Learning Together

Happy "Twit or Tweeting"! 
Everytime I here that this or that famous person has tweeted this or that I wondered what this tweeting thing is all about! Well, now I know, and I now realize why the last chapter on the RSS was so important!  As the author states this whole business of internet usage will provide social networks where we can "share, connect, and create with others (many others) who have the same minds, interest, and passions" pg 85 and on to page 86 where he states "Learning is a continuous conversation among many participants!"
and this continuous conversation is exploding in the land of tweeting! I can certainly understand why people enjoy this media arena! 
It was helpful that the author also gave us practical sites to check out so that our tweeting can become managable with the social bookmarking services distinguishing between Diigo and Delicious.....good tools to become familiar with if this is indeed in your future....but I had to admit when I read the sentence beginning with ..."Delicious is so Googl-esque" it made me stop and giggle a bit.....I am amazed at the new vocabulary I have developed just by taking this class! It is as if I were taking a new language class....and just with learning a new language tweeting, blogging, wiki-ing, podcasting, RSS-ing will require practice and patience!
And all I need to do is just start somewhere...La casa es muy grande!!  Happy Tweeting!
