Twitter? Really?

Okay... I have been reading about twitter in all sorts of forums including Time Magazine the past month or so.  Just like everything I do, I signed up and tried it out... but didn't see the point a couple of weeks ago.  Well, it just won't go away, so I am going to try it again a little bit more. 

I have embedded a twitter badge on my www.edutechie.com sidebar that I will attempt to update throughout the day with what I am doing.  But I think the point of twitter is to make friends and follow what they are doing.  So if you use twitter, please let me know so I can add you as a friend.  Feel free to add me as a friend too.  (http://twitter.com/edutechie)  If you don't use twitter, feel free to sign up and use me to test it out with me. 

So the real question is... how can we use this in education?  Not sure yet... I'll let you know...
