Twitter Search in Plain English

Posted on June 26, 2009 by Steve Dale in Twitter, Video

Maybe nothing new here for the seasoned Twitter user, but as always, Lee Lefever does a great job in putting across fairly complex concepts in a simple ‘matter of fact’ way. This new video from CommonCraft covers Twitter Search, and for anyone who wants to know more about ‘trends’ and ‘hashtags’ then look no further, all is explained here.

Well I learn from the people I follow on Twitter, so it would seem to me to be one more tool in the educational toolbox. I also think it could be a great way of keeping in touch with students and for sign-posting articles of interest.
