How to sign up for Twitter
Verifying your email account with Twitter
Customizing your profile on Twitter
How does Twitter work?
Installing Tweetdeck
Customizing Tweetdeck
Finding people to follow on Twitter

Yesterday I posted a question on Twitter. It was a pretty simple one, I was looking for examples of portfolios people have created because I needed to find an example to analyze as part of one of my graduate courses.
Within 10 minutes, I had a bunch of different examples from different people in my Professional Learning Network (PLN). Here are their tweets (these images link to their examples).
All of these portfolios would have worked for my purpose, but it was great to ask a question of my PLN that I could never answer easily with a regular search engine. I also know that these are examples that people wanted to share, which suggests that they are exemplars which makes it even more useful to me, since I want to eventually produce an exemplar of a portfolio for myself (although I suspect that may end up just being a subset of what I have posted on this blog).
