From the Twitterverse

I am quickly approaching my 30th day of blogging every day.  I want to continue to incorporate blogging in my daily routine. One strategy I’m considering is having a meme for each day, much like Should Be Reading, one of the book blogs I follow. MizB encourages others to share in the meme on their own blogs or in the comments.

Here’s what I’m thinking about:

  • Monday Musings: A take off on Should Be Reading where she asks and answers a question
  • Tuesday: From the Twitterverse: a post about something I found on Twitter
  • Wednesday: Mid week news roundup from Google alerts
  • Thursday: Thinking Out Loud: a post on some topic generally related to teaching, learning, technology and education
  • Friday: Fun
  • Sat/Sun: Just one post on the weekends and it will be more arts related

So, from the Twitterverse today: an article identifying real and fake Hurricane Sandy photos. I got the link from one of my graduate students.

It’s a reminder of how easy it is to make and widely distribute photographs these days. Civil War photographer Mathew Brady was known to rearrange battle sites but he couldn’t do any post image editing and create a scene from whole cloth. And then have it shared instantaneously on social networks where there seems to be little thought about the veracity of the image.

What did you find in the Twitterverse today?
