Thanks for your feedback Alex:-) There are hundreds of spam comments every week, I can’t understand how it happens…and these recent ones look so real, so I approved two of them by mistake.

Best,

Burcu

If you mean the link, that’s automatically generated. If you mean the topic, it’s genuine interest!

Thanks for deleting the spam Burcu- meaning that the first and fourth comments that are there now aren’t spam, so Andy Hockley please don’t take offense if you’re reading!

What an interesting way to get noticed Alex. If I had a blog I would submit it to your list. I will keep checking in to see how the history of tefl blogging develops.

Hate to be a killjoy, but the first and fourth comments are spam. As much as I agree with their sentiments, the very general language is a give away- as is the name of the site clicking on the first name leads to!

It is an honor to know you Burcu and to be on your list. I’m new to the ELT world but I feel so welcome. Everyday I learn so much from people like you and many of the familiar faces/tweeps I see on your list.

The ELT world really is full of great people. I’ll most likely see you next in Harrogate in April and hopefully meet some new tweeps as well. I’m really looking forward to the Pecha Kucha event! In the mean time I will keep working hard to help English professionals expand their freelance businesses and sharing great resources on Twitter.

Thanks Burcu!

Thanks for this great list! I’ll be doing a Twitter presentation for newbies and I’ll point the audience to this blog entry. Thanks!

Thank you all for your nice comments.

The teachers I meet at conferences or the ones I work together ask me (this is a very frequent question nowadays)”Well, I am on Twitter now. Where are these educators you keep mentioning?” I am glad that this list will help them get started. It is great that these people on the list also share their knowledge and experiences in other virtual places like blogs, wikis, web sites and conferences.

We are very lucky that we are members of such a vibrant group of educators.

Best,

Burcu
