Twitter is the latest fashionable Web 2.0 application and allows individuals to post updates via the Web, email, or mobile phone to friends and other “followers”. An RSS feed of twitter updates is also available and this can be added to other Web 2.0 sites like Wordpress.
On this site we take feeds from two Twitter sites (twitter.com/sfakia_crete and twitter.com/gg2fc). The latter feed is our way of posting notices about updates to this site.
It’s not compulsory but a Twitter feed may be a neat feature to have on your Wordpress website. Wordpress.com includes a more powerful Twitter widget than we use here.
The great thing is that posting via Twitter won’t rely on being “online” in Crete as you can post from your mobile phone. It may add a sense of immediacy and allow ad hoc observations to be posted quickly, which may otherwise be lost by the time you write your blog entries in the evening.
This is something for your group to consider.
