Thanks for your comment. Check out my bookmarks and publications tagged with “microblogging”: http://www.bibsonomy.org/user/boehr/microblogging.
There is also a paper about microblogging in education from http://twitter.com/mebner. Also interesting in this area is http://twitter.com/barbaranixon.

In my opionion it is very important to devide different use cases of microblogs (internal communication tool in teams or lecture audience, public tool for knowledge sharing, following important/relevant people from a special area for learning purposes et cetera). They use the same tool name “microblogging” but in fact have different characteristics.

All the best

thanks for sharing your results. I’m going to write my masterthesis about blogging (which includes microblogging in that case) in educational contexts. SO if you’ve got any hints for me I’d be glad.
