From Twitter to Del.icio.us in One Easy Comment!

Twitter_EdTech

I know I've been blogging a lot about lately. But, the network that has been embracing me has been amazing. What an accepting and generous group of people. I've been learning so much about Web 2.0 tools, giving presentations, teaching in different parts of the country under varying circumstances, and lots more. I'm finding that there are lots of people out there with very similar interests who are willing to help out total strangers. Frequently, a tweet will come through with a request for some tweets at a particular time. The request typically comes from someone who is giving a presentation and wants to show how the real time shot-in-the-dark kind of conversations that Twitter offers can be very productive.

Well, in an effort to share our resources even further, I put out a Tweet to request that anyone in our "network" who has a del.icio.us account and is willing to share their "name," to please send it my way and I will compile the list. This way, we can add each other to our del.icio.us networks. One of the drawbacks of all these social networking sites, is the separate interfaces, usernames and such. We are all hoping for the ultimate of social networking one day.

I'm very excited to get this ball rolling and even more excited to explore all the great bookmarks that our friends, with similar interests in education are sharing. If you would like to be included, just post a comment here with your del.icio.us "name" and I will add you to our network. Then, just follow these easy steps:

  1. Go to (sign up for an account if you don't have one already)
  2. Click on Your Network (top left)
  3. On the right-hand side, in the text box, type in Twitter_EdTech
  4. Click ADD
  5. Now Twitter_EdTech will appear in your network beneath in blue
  6. Click on Twitter_EdTech
  7. You are now in Twitter_EdTech's bookmarks, but there are none... BUT WAIT
  8. In the gray box at the top, it reads:

    All Twitter_EdTech's items (0)
    Twitter_EdTech is in your network, view Twitter_EdTech's network

  9. Click on VIEW Twitter_EdTech's Network
That's where the magic happens. There you see all the bookmarks shared by everyone in the network, which can be a little messy OR you can look over at the right. There you can click on each member's name and look at his/her individual bookmarks. You can even add each member to your own del.icio.us network. As more members join this Twitter_EdTech del.icio.us network, you'll see them added.

For now, you will see these people have put themselves out there and offered to share their great finds that they have already posted to their del.icio.us accounts:

  • TeachaKidd (that's me)
  • zemote
  • lisashusband
  • brightideasguru
  • pelgin
  • cnansen
  • mpsteachers
  • mino_public_schools
  • idahomitchell
Leave a comment here with your del.icio.us name and you'll be good to go, too.

My del.icio.us name is brachsmith...what a great idea! Thanks for thinking of it AND putting it into action. I couldn't agree with you more regarding the appreciation that I have for my twitter network! So, thank you also for being a part of my twitter network!

said...

You both have been added! Thank you so much for participating. The list is growing and I find myself lost for hours browsing through all the rich resources shared by our Tweet Peeps.

There's 15 of us in the network so far. Hopefully we'll be able to grow it more! Thanks again.

I added Twitter_EdTech to my del.icio.us network at ccassinelli.

Another thing that you can do is when you tag a bookmark, you can add "for:Twitter_EdTech" as a TAG and that bookmark will automatically show up in Twitter_EdTech's bookmarks for them to save.

Note: I visited your site because of a post you made in Classroom 2.0!!!

I joined the Twitter Ed Tech group when you first mentioned it on your blog. Such a fabulous idea! Thanks for doing this. I'm shown on the group as ctkmcmillan. Can't seem to figure out how to change it to McTeach without deleting the account and starting all over!

Thanks again!

Hi Karen,
I don't think you can change your primary account name in del.icio.us but I see that you used McTeach in your other name "by..." That's where I've also put in my other aliases. I created the Twitter_EdTech account and used "by..." to label with my name, but the del.icio.us account with my bookmarks is TeachaKidd aka Geekymomma by Lee Kolbert aka TeachaKidd. It's crazy.
