According to Tweet Cloud, the top three things I tweeted about over the last year were Google, videos and learning.
That makes sense since my blog postings automatically generate tweets and I do write about those things. But it was interesting for a tool to let me know objectively what I tend to focus on.
But while [...]
What is your reach?
Posted by: ashleytan on: November 9, 2009
It never ceases to amaze me how people find ways to connect 140 characters at a time with Twitter. Read how Karl Fisch did so at The Fischbowl: How Many People in Your Family?
Maybe one day I’ll have the same reach as he does!

I followed Tuck Soon’s tweets as he attended a briefing on baseline ICT standards for students. His culminating tweet:
Baseline ICT Pupil Standards in Singapore http://bit.ly/1B7WV2 Notice the huge emphasis on Microsoft Office and lack of Web 2.0 #edtech
In light of all Singapore schools adopting Google Apps for Education by the end of this year and [...]
Edutweeting

Good riddance to celebrity Twitters. Unfortunately, only a few of them like Miley Cyrus decided to abandon the Twitter ship. Most are still on board.
Celebrities did bring Twitter some free publicity and this has probably contributed in part to its meteoric rise and its estimated current worth of US$1 billion. But I think that celebrities [...]

Twimailer will definitely help you decide whether to follow someone when you get the email that someone is following you on Twitter. Follow?

It seems to work well. But I don’t why my Twitter email setting keeps changing back to my original Gmail one.
Now I wish there was something to AUTOMATICALLY filter and delete from [...]

From an EduBlog simply titled Human comes this account of a teacher, a digital immigrant, and how she learned to speak the “language” of digital natives.

Our part of the world experienced a slowdown in Internet access yesterday. Like other users, I wanted to know why.
I started by trawling local and regional news sites, and when I found nothing, I turned to real-time search on Twitter. There I discovered that others were complaining about slow Internet access via Singnet and Starhub. [...]
The psychology of retweeting
Posted by: ashleytan on: June 26, 2009
CNN had a special on retweeting. And, no, it wasn’t by someone with a lisp writing about US forces retreating from Iraq.
