It would be great to have a chat about it. On the subject of twitter, [de] has just integrated it onto the homepage of the latest site we have designed - http://2041.com - for polar explorer Robert Swan. Currently in Southampton, to run another Google Earth course tomorrow and was thinking on the train about bluetooth. From what I have gleaned - anecdotally in the classroom and more structured questioning - the data costs are too high for teens to download multimedia content from the web. So they download from pc to mobile and share it via bluetooth. Now here's a thought... how about a bluetooth mediaserver in every school broadcasting educational and inspiring content? Hope all well, Jamie Rick,

Twitter offers a more flexible version of Facebook's status window. And most importantly enables it to be sent from your mobile. The challenge is in coming up with a message that expalins your situation in 140 characters or less :) Seesmic offers the same, but for video - very cool and something you'll see alot of in the near future. One post I've come across recently that I'm sure you'll find interesting is here: http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2008/01/twitter-in-the-classroom.html Essentially this is taking the classroom into your pocket as opposed to your laptop. Lots of other interesting stuff relating to mobile that I can chat to you about - particularly in terms of changing a person's behaviour (social conscience) cheers Jamie, I’m blushing…:)
