Higher Ed Twitter Lists

[Julia]

Hi all!

I just joined uwebd yesterday and I've seen a few blog posts and discussions about Higher Ed Twitter lists.
Like this great one from Karlyn: http://karlynmorissette.karlyn.me/2009/01/master-higher-ed-twitter-...

And this response to Karlyn's post by Mike: http://highedwebtech.com/author/mike/

Anyway, just wanted to share with you all a pretty simple system one of our interns developed for college twitter users. She started a college student pbwiki. You can find it here: http://collegetweetup.pbwiki.com/

It's great because the wiki is organized by school, so people tweeting from the same university can make connections with one another. Anyway, just wanted to share and figured posting on here would be easier than commenting on everyone's blogs.

That's a pretty awesome effort. One of Twitter's large failings is that as a social tool, it doesn't provide a very good networking system. No grouping without third party tools.

I was actually inspired by Karlyn and Mike, and have been looking into what it would take to set up something like www.lextweet.com, but for .edu folks. So far it doesn't look terribly difficult, especially using something like the Arc90 library. I'd be happy to discuss this idea with others if anyone is interested.

We've been looking at creating an aggregated UWEBD Twotter feed for quite some time. ( see http://cuwebd.ning.com/forum/topics/aggregated-uwebd-twitter-feed). Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
