19:32:22 JohnS -> true, alec.
19:32:36 alicemercer -> Advantage of twitter, if you don't have a network already, it helps you build one.
19:32:43 JohnS -> difference of self-hosting vs. online.

19:39:51 matt montagne -> this is changing...with so many celebs, kids are now using it
19:40:21 jackiegerstein -> Agreed - some of us are more digital than our students - I poo on the digital native argument
19:40:22 matt montagne -> the students that I know open their accounts and follow a ton of celebs...and me too of course ;-)
19:40:28 alicemercer -> they share links...

19:41:02 BronStuckey -> Most kids in Aus use mob phone texting where we use twitter
19:41:14 jackiegerstein -> I don't agree - I think they have IM
19:41:17 alicemercer -> which is NOT efficient, I'm sure that they found out about proxy from hs siblings
19:41:18 matt montagne -> @js...yeah, I agree...I can't say the teachers were too fired up about digi books
19:41:27 jan smith -> they do like their on-line identity and if they build it in the dark they will stay there
19:41:35 matt montagne -> I'm finding that lots of HS students are getting twitter accts now...
19:41:39 JenM -> Apple netbook rumor: http://www.macrumors.com/2009/03/09/touch-panels-for-apple-netbook-ordered/

19:41:59 matt montagne -> how much is the mac netbook going to cost?? 
19:42:08 matt montagne -> I'm going to bet it will b 799 USD
19:42:09 jan smith -> if kids build identity that is open--maybe they will stay open
