Tina the Twit is in my 8 am class. She's a relatively bright and diligent student. She's very polite, but not in any sort of ass-kissing way. She works hard, turns in projects on time, and is actually one of my go-to people when discussions get stagnant.In a recent Powerpoint project she presented information about various social networking avenues that her generation uses, and she finished with a couple of slides specifically on Twitter. It's something I'd heard of but had never checked out.
So, after class I went to her page (the one listed on the project she turned in.) It actually was pretty interesting. The opening several "tweets" were about her presentation itself, notes to her collaborators, a sort of real-time brainstorming session. I was impressed by it.
I kept flipping page to page until I came across this series:

And, I sort of chuckled at the hapless proffie who was the subject of all this until I noticed the time and day of the posts. It's my class. I'm the gasbag.
