Bruce Spear writes, "You might be interested in the case study, or at least the start of one, that I've just written up on how I used Twitter in a business English class here in Berlin, Germany." I was interested; this is a chance to pek in on the exercise as it progresses. "What made our use of Twitter interesting and a success, I believe, was both the intense sociability associated with it and the fact that for most it did not come easily and so had to be shown by example and use governed by intelligibility and acceptance among peers. It was almost a parallel universe, because we certainly could not talk about it in class, but by the end of the term the answer to the question of 'what are you doing' was answered in your terms."
