Tweet or not to Tweet

I use twitter all the time just for personal use I have never thought to use it for educational reasons. I know who my audience is, my friends enjoy and are interested about my day, funny jokes share, links to videos and page. Even though others my think my tweets are too quirky and pointless they are not for you just simply unfollow.  If i were to post more educational tweets my audience will change gear towards those who are interested in that subject. I am not saying that I am not but I believe that one should not mix business with pleasure so to speak. I think it is awesome that teachers and many educators found a way to may twitter less recreational and more educational. I would definately consider using twitter in a class of older students to keep then engaged in certain lessons.
