In this chapter, Richardson makes a compelling case for integration of both Twitter and social bookmarking tools in one's personal and professional life. In fact, it seems that the personal and professional continue to overlap and inform each other in increasingly interesting ways through the collaborative nature of the web.
I am starting to make some headway with Twitter, posting more often and responding directly to people seems to have provided some forward momentum. What strikes me about Twitter now that I haven't understood previously is the volume and variety of information and resources it continually offers up. As the author states, "...It's become a running river of conversation and ideas that has cemented their connections to the community nd made the network even more palpable."
Social bookmarking is something that I haven't implemented in my work or personal web use. This must change! With over 10 billion pages, 10 BILLION PAGES, of information, information overload is unavoidable. The social part of social bookmarking makes it a powerful tool. Instead of searching in a solitary way, I can tag a site and also be connected to many other sites that have been tagged similarly by other web searchers. I see this most applicable to my constant quest for the latest and greatest research that shows the cause and effect link between healthy choices/attitudes/behaviors and improved academic achievement.
