This paper contains what its title promises. The authors find "Twitter strongly supports professional following and networking that ultimately resulted in improved teaching, learning, and collaboration. In both contexts, Twitter provides affordances for strongly connecting and bonding with others and forming a community."

This has left us with data that cannot be comfortably generalized."
