It’s feeling like a bang on the drum all day (video) kind of day, and you know what that means. More uninspired blog blather from yours truly. I’m totally phoning it in.
Today’s topic: Contextless tweets from the world of Twitter. Don’t try to read anything into this. Just go with it. Or not. Either way, happy Friday. Can I get a w00t w00t?
For people too rushed to read a Twitter tweet: introducing 12second.tv. The site allows users to offer micro-commentary in 12-second nibbles.
This site (still in private beta) was mentioned in Poynter’s piece on 10 emerging technologies for online news (h/t @steverubel). As an example of how journalists could use 12seconds.tv, Poynter also points (heh) to a clip of an “interactive anchor” at a real TV news station preparing to log on.
Ron Bronson has also discovered 12seconds and he, like me, isn’t quite ready to join the revolution.
But imagine the possibilities for higher ed:
What do you think? You have more than 12 seconds to leave a comment of more than 140 characters.
