These tweets of mine need not be noteworthy, except that I want to make a note of them. To make sure they do not vanish in cyberspace. They deserve a spot in this personal learning scenario.
Many an important idea, a moment when my thoughts take a new turn take place in Twitter. I should probably be blogging them out and state exactly what I meant. Probably. Perhaps their value lies in keeping its shorter original form.
These are not all of my tweets. Just the ones that were not, but could well be extended tweets one day in this blog.
Seeing the selection from the last two months makes the pattern of my twitter interests only more evident. Funny when I think those topics are not my most frequent blog tags. The people I reply to do not always get a link in my posts. Yet all this backstage underpins my blogging.

About lurkers and their presence traces.
The "I like" in FB may not add to the conversation, but it does to presence. Maybe the one + thing compared to Twitter.3:56 PM Sep 30th from web
- @ Blopgposts need a sort of comment aggregator. But still, people comment in private FB or in Twitter without an @ . How to RSS that?3:15 PM Sep 27th from web in reply to cogdog

About Twitter (why not).
Lurkville-There are so many untweeted thoughts, so many unwritten comments. Every time I shut up, who learns? How much have I missed?1:57 PM Sep 25th from web
Thoughts on story-telling from tweets or comments:
- I must say that when I chat with @ my reflection levels soar. That's a sure sign I am close to one of the key nodes in my network.5:31 PM Sep 22nd from web
- @ e.g. This beautiful post in Spanish explaining the birth of a novel from chat and blog archives 5:26 PM Sep 22nd from web in reply to aletorto
- Tweeple: Would you say there is a distinctive blog post language style different from the way you speak in a comment? Wondering.5:24 PM Sep 22nd from web
- @ I wouldn't publish a private chat. But you're right. They make up a kind of story line. If your eyes are inclined to see it, sure.5:21 PM Sep 22nd from web in reply to aletorto
- @ Write that story? Maybe another one -Wink @.5:19 PM Sep 22nd from web in reply to aletorto
- Note: The previous tweet is a line I almost add to a private chat with Gabriela, but then I realised it was worth sharing.5:07 PM Sep 22nd from web
- @ It's possible to make a story out of a few twitter exchanges. You just need a story-teller. Fiction everywhere.5:06 PM Sep 22nd from web
- "an always updated 'world wide corpus' is changing the very nature of the language we teach" @ @ Yes, yes, yes.3:38 PM Sep 22nd from web
A thought on web presence. The silence of lurkers.

Where are the tweet-worthy comment threads?
- Tweeple, just wondering. I notice lots of "New Post" announcements here, but few "I'm commenting here". Why is that?11:43 AM Sep 10th from HootSuite
Draft Posts- What to do?
@ Get that post drafted somehow. Posts have such a short-term head life.11:38 AM Sep 10th from HootSuite in reply to datruss- @ I've been through the long hiatus. Lost some stats I had. Learning value intact. Just my experience. (I'll read your post later).11:35 AM Sep 10th from HootSuite
- Tweet sifting. Starring a few to come back to. Feeling more like going asynchronous in my reading than reading live or on a cloud.11:31 AM Sep 10th from HootSuite

Claudia,
It was a post much like this that I read on your blog more than two years ago that sent me to the sign-up page on twitter.
I think, for that reason, these of your words struck me most:
We can never know the totality of our influence in the world, or what conversations happen in response to our work.
I am approaching 6,000 tweets that would not have existed had you not nudged and influenced my own thinking... and how much influence have I had as a result?
I have been amazed again and again at just how much can be said in 140 characters and yet sometimes more needs to be said... Some of the tweets you shared have a story to be told. I think you should heed the very advice you gave me and blog about them:
Get that post drafted somehow. Posts have such a short-term head life.
Some of these tweets can stand alone, wisdom shared of which you will never really know the totality of their influence, perhaps not even to yourself, much less others!
