Maggie Appleton (Twitter)Many worlds theory of twitter:
— Maggie Appleton (@Mappletons) June 11, 2021
There's another corner of tweetspace, unconnected from ours, where people are talking about the web as topography, personal wikis, learning in public, & platform interoperability.
They use completely different buzzwords and metaphors.
Plausible?
Define “ours“. “Tweetspace” is only Twitter? Perhaps not all of those at once…
The education space definitely. Many are still in the “old” blogosphere. They use phrases/hashtags like “Domain of One’s Own” (#DoOO), personal learning networks (#pln), #EdTech, #EthicalEdTech, etc.
Maybe a dash of #OpenScience, along with maybe @LibCarpentry and @theCarpentries?
#IndieWeb is platform interoperability, along with a smattering of the others but you already knew of that overlap.
“Ours” loosely meaning 2-3 degrees of network separation. Anyone reading the tweet + followers + following. Gardeny-tools-for-thought-web-dev-world
Theory mostly that neologisms, acronyms, language, metaphors act as both rallying points and dividers in text-dominant interfaces
Love “domain of one’s own”!
PLN = personal/professional learning network?
Great examples from #EdTech + #OpenScience – was only peripherally aware of those. Also #tlchat (teacher-librarians) are similar
Need translators/intermediaries linking these worlds up (human, not “AI” Smiling face with open mouth and smiling eyes)
