At all hours?About pet rabbits? Hmm. I think Twitter has interesting possibilities but I'd use it only with some definite guidlines. But, by making it so ( for example telling my students NO to twitter me on weekends, or omit hamster stories) would I be killing what is exciting/innovative about it? Yes, the rabbit thing scares me a bit too:)

Regardless though, it does raise interesting questions about what kinds of guidelines an instructor could set that might encourage helpful, productive Twittering. The instructor quoted in the earlier article who uses Twitter to elicit instant feedback after class sessions does seem to have hit on the right idea; on the other hand, the instructor receiving Twitters about a student's new pet rabbit is perhaps a little blinded by a technology that might need to be reined in a bit in order to be useful...
