Twitter is mobile blogging (and web), but limited to 140 characters.

Jaiku is an alternative…

• No limit on characters
• More of a social networking site
• Can accept MMS as well as SMS
• Can follow/be followed in Jaiku
• Can link into Last.FM, etc
• Can syndicate feeds

Anyway, uses for e-learning?

• Instant feedback
• Syndicating feeds, giving people an idea of useful content
• Alternative to instant messaging? Especially across different campuses
• Useful for courses where short/concise messages are ideal. eg. Journalism, literature, etc.

Whoops, we just broke Jaiku!
