Twitter is completely stupid. Celebrities use it so you know its very, very stupid. Numerous studies in the respected scienticifc journal Celebrity Cerebrums have noted the inverse correlation between ego and brain size. Scientists have proved that certain celebrities are not actually alive according to their projected brain size and can only truly be considered as plants. And they can use Twitter.

Now think how stupid your students are. Completly thick. And what about lecturers? Well we know their ego-sizes so… you do the Math (I can’t I’m too stupid). So the moral of the stoy is it is safe to assume we can all use Twitter. That is how media should be before we consider using it - completely stupid.

‘Scuse me, I don’t quite understand. Could you say that again? In 140 characters?

Clearly what I *meant* to say was:

@dope Twitter FTW! W00t! Exclamation! RT, FYI, Going Forward, #schooopid!

Brian Mulligan says

I may be stupid too because I still cannot understand what function it serves.

Eamon says

You got your rebuttal in under 140 characters

Well it doesn’t serve a function per se I suppose but it can do many things. It has interesting properties such as that it scales, is relatively resistant to spam and automation, is very simple, is made from Plain Old Web so very easy to build upon, mixes public and private spheres in an interesting ratio, is expressive, is connective, free (sort-of).

The fact that it is free makes it perhaps more useful for education for instance than SMS (although can piggyback on SMS too if needed).

On the other hand maybe its a fad…
