Listening to Julia Fallon on Monday reminded me of many of the conversations/presentations I've heard about Twitter. While I just recently sent my first tweet, I've been following people and organizations on the social networking site for a couple of years now. Twitter and FB are important parts of the news business. In fact, you're looked at with suspicion if you're not active on Twitter and FB.
Julia and/or Bruce also mentioned how some news organizations quote people's Twitter accounts. Twitter and FB are great for finding out information about people. And my own experience of being quoted from my FB account showed me how important it is to always be mindful of what you say, especially on a social networking site.
However you do have to be careful. I can see how beneficial these sites can be to upper grade levels, but if I were a parent, I don't think I'd want my kids on the sites even if it's supposed to be for school work.
