Call me a late bloomer, but it’s only now that I’ve joined the Twitter mania. Martin Perez’s post about Twitter prompted me to open an account. Just like Martin, I plan to use Twitter to communicate with my students. Of course, I can only hope that they will “follow me” via Twitter.

With the start of classes at UP on November 9 (Friday), students should expect that I will be posting announcements through Twitter. I agree with Martin that this is very convenient for those who are on the go: I can use my mobile phone to post entries on Twitter, and the service is absolutely free for those who want to “follow me.”

Of course, for security reasons, I have to remind myself that I should not give away vital information like where I am at certain times, especially at night. I think that goes also for those who are publicly known for being critical about the powers-that-be.

I sincerely hope that you will be very careful in blogging about personal details.

That’s all for now and please “follow me” via Twitter.
