- @ltwunder Welcome, then! in reply to ltwunder #
- @lindsaymartini bow-ba in reply to lindsaymartini #
- @KeepWundering I think your mom (@ltwunder) is following me on Twitter now. Although the day in class was probably enough to warn her. #
- I was very glad to have a campus interview last week. But I'm also regretting the non-existent spring break. #
- What someone just said to me: "you're practically the rocky horror picture show at this point." #
- @nowviskie I know. I'm looking forward to that. in reply to nowviskie #

- @erinsells And you're a flatterer. All good reasons to <3 you. in reply to erinsells #
- @erinsells I have 70 students. But constant grading with wikis, Zotero, papers, exams, and more. Lame. in reply to erinsells #
- And just got a request for another phone interview. Score! (For those keeping track, it's another #alt ac position.) #jobmarket #
- @erinsells I've told them that I feel very badly about things as they are. But I'm already working until 1am. I won't do 4am. in reply to erinsells #

- Writing emails to students who will now fail my courses because of their attendance. #
- @cscannella It's a good album. I think it's like a rocked-up Fleet Foxes. in reply to cscannella #
- I'm trying to figure out if there is anyway to combine @readitlater with Readability (http://bit.ly/czGBkX). Thoughts, anyone? #

- @samplereality Hmm. Useful. But what if other events are getting planned at the same time? Not that we couldn't deal with that, I suppose. in reply to samplereality #
- @samplereality I think there's good reason to use the standard hashtag and good reason to have our own, for Twapper purposes. in reply to samplereality #
- @nowviskie We'll have to see if you can make it through our rigorous vetting process, of course! http://bit.ly/anvItg in reply to nowviskie #

- @DelaneyKirk I am using a class hashtag (#eng465). A few of my students are on Twitter already, so I don't think it will be a problem. [1/2] in reply to DelaneyKirk #
- Showing Twitter to a class. Can people please say hi? #
- @amandafrench Congratulations! #
- @amndw2 I think people see it as dumbing down. A commodification, where patrons can't work w/o lattes. The Starbuckification of the world. in reply to amndw2 #
