No, no.

IM was a link to one person at a time (selected from a list of many people).

Twitter is *like* IM *except* that it is a send-to-many.

I also would like to point out that there is a lot of value in using the 'notes' when posting to del.icio.us. Now that I'm over 800 bookmarks, I find the title alone often just isn't enough. Notes save me time checking out a vague title and help me to ensure that the link I am opening is one I am interested in... so some advice to all... for the sake of your network take 30 seconds and add a note. This is especially easy with the Firefox buttons since highlighted text gets added to the notes section! Also, nive work on the tutorial! I did a del.icio.us tutorial using Powerpoint over Elluminate with a class in Vancouver... this was a lot of fun! http://www.scribd.com/doc/905883/Delicious1 (a copy of the powerpoint) The highlight was my student, a del.icio.us power-user giving hints on how she uses subscriptions. We decided on MSN (used as a presenters back channel since we were not together) not to do the RSS section of the presentation since we were unaware beforehand of the low level of understanding of the students' web2.0 involvement. Still it was great to learn strategies from my student. When we find the time we will do an improved session on Jing or Slideshare or ??? I think it is interesting that recently I have taken a break from my RSS Reader... My Twitter and Del.icio.us networks have kept me too busy! Dean,

I followed a few networks and found lots of people I recognize from the online education communities. Some post del.icio.us links from their blog, so I get them in my reader anyhow, but now I can easily browse links from lots of people I respect. I'm learning more from my "team" every day.

I just wanted to say that this is an important post for people who don't realize that del.icio.us is more than just a place to save their links. I don't have a huge list of people in my network. I'll probably develop it more over the school breaks. I find it very useful to click on my network from time to time. Whenever I take the time to look, I always find something interesting. This is another reason for everyone to try to put a descriptive sentence along with the saved link. It's helpful to see what the other person was thinking when they saved the link. Sometimes I'll find out where they found the info, sometimes it helps me figure out if I want to follow the link at the moment. Twitter is great for a quick stop in the staff room as DKuropatwa recently said. It's helped answer questions for me real time. I'm drawn there more for interaction.
