• Personal: With 140 characters maximum it has a very specific purpose
• Professional: Good way to share/find relevant websites and posted materials

Twitter.com
• You can access public information on Twitter without registering but to follow individuals and be followed you need to register and create an account.
• You can prevent folks from following you but it’s after-the-fact.
• Twitter provides a way to participate in conference activities without actually attending a conference.
YouTube.com• Personal: For enjoyment, entertainment, or
sharing• Professional: Lectures, interviews or items in
the news in your field• Classroom: Have students find and share videos
relevant to the course – post links in a discussion in your course site for example. Post links for them to watch.
• Many folks post their entire course on YouTube so there’s a wealth of information to be viewed.
Delicious
• Bookmarking site• Your favorites migrate from computer to
computer with you• Works well with Twitter• Easy to categorize sites• Individual bookmarks can be shared or not
• Use Google for more than a search engine
• Create a Google account (iGoogle)• Use Google Groups instead of mailing
lists• Use Google Docs for shared files
