The power of Twitter

The power of Twitter | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it
How I became a convert to Twitter • The teaching and education community on Twitter is truly inspirational...

 

Twitter is a fantastic collaborative tool. As teachers, how often do we get to visit other schools? In my experience, very rarely. Twitter has enabled me to collaborate with teachers in schools across the country. Combine this with cloud services such as DropBox and Google Docs and you can create and share resources and ideas quickly and easily.

 

The site is also a great place for discussion. It is amazing how creative you can be in 140 characters. Teachers, academics, technologists and other experts come together on Twitter to chat and discuss a whole range of topics – you can follow and contribute to these discussions by using hash tags.

Twitter could be sued for its users’ unlawful tweets | ZDNet

Twitter could be sued for its users’ unlawful tweets | ZDNet | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it
If a Twitter user posts a defamatory tweet, they could get sued.

 

But could Twitter itself be sued as a ’secondary publisher’ for simply being the platform to an ‘illegal’ tweet?

 

Could Twitter to blame for its users tweets when they are deemed unlawful, either through

defamation, libel, or breaking a court order?

 

The truth is, depending on where you are, it’s a “maybe”. The answer is that nobody really knows yet.
