Hi Anne, this particular project is looking at how an informal community learns – so it is elearning, although many of us are looking at Twitter as a news tool.

Have you spoken to Nick Webb over in Medic? He has a Twitter plan up his sleeve which sounds very, very interesting.

Hi Michael I've been using Grouptweet with my students, but I have just joined a group for journalists set up by @paulbradshaw so will keep you posted on that

Thanks Graham – a good resource and one that makes life an awful lot easier! I'm going to forward that on to my students.

I think it is great that you are looking at uses of social media/twitter for something other than elearning. I'm been thinking about the applications to medical education but think I need to find some evidence of use by a few real jobbing doctors now.

Journalism by it's nature probably thrives on the immediacy of web 2.0 tools. May we would hope that medicine would be more considered. Actually, I think my remark is unfair to journalism. It should be considered as well.

Anyone playing with Twitter Groups at twittergroups.com. I've set mine up but find it a bit odd getting it going. Seems to have potential.

Not sure how useful this might be, but I feed a bunch of 'social media for journalists' related training links into this tumblr,

Maybe nothing you haven't come across in other areas, but thought I'd throw it your way.
