One more vote for Twitter

I’ve been playing with Twitter for a while now, but I got one more concrete demonstration of its power today.

I tweeted early today that my students were working on an assignment about Canadian immigration posters from early last century. A couple of hours later I got a tweet from @jralph telling me the online archive of The Beaver had some of the very style posters we were looking at. I never would have found those on my own and here someone just came out and offered them to me.

How great is that!! I love Twitter.

    This isn’t a comment on your post, but I just wanted to say I like the new look of your blog. Very sharp!

      Thanks. Since my webhost crashed and messed up my blog anyway, I thought I might hunt for a new template. Change can be good.
