The power of 140 characters

I found this article from one of my Tech & Learning newsletters and thought this author had a interesting point about Twitter. Overall you have to be careful what you post online. Just like the incident about a teacher being dismissed from her frustration tweet, Twitter has become a venue where people can express anything they want to say. Sure we know our rights and so forth to say whatever you darn want to say (I can be emotional and angry too) but putting that in 140 characters and tweeting it out there makes it fair game to the online universe. Overall think before you tweet. You'll never know who'll pick up your message and interpret it the wrong way.
