But after experiencing Twitter burnout a few weeks ago I decided to follow fewer people and check Twitter less often. Dear Burcu,

Twitter is not too popular in Korea, but it is picking up, but mostly by expats. There is a Korean language competitor that I believe is doing pretty good, <a href="http://me2day.net/" rel="nofollow">Me2Day</a>. Haven't really been following the EFL tweeters but as soon as I saw larry ferlazzos name on the list above I followed him. I used to comment under then name EFL Geek, but now go by Sean.

Especially after Oprah start tweeting. For those outside the US, she is a big daytime TV host, some would say the biggest. Twitter's growth exploded after she started. But, in some countries Twitter has yet to take off. Indeed 88% of people don't even know what it is: http://whatjapanthinks.com/2009/05/19/twitter-not-that-popular-in-japan/ It's kind of a shame. I'm making a presentation on Twitter soon so I would like to hear from everyone about how they use Twitter in their classrooms and whether it is effective or not. Send me a tweet! @nealchambers Excellent post Burcu as always. I think the use of Twitter has exploded in recent days in the US. Especially after Oprah start tweeting.
