This could be done quite easily. I even have some <a href="http://www.douglaskarr.com/2007/06/17/jaiku-sample-code/" rel="nofollow">sample code</a> that you can get started with. I would just make a Jaiku Channel and then you can invite all your students to that Channel. Everything they post can be displayed - either by retrieving the Channel or by displaying the RSS feed! Doug Hi Shaun!

Question hoping you can answer or direct me in the right direction. I have a website for teens for a local afterschool program that I am looking to use twitter. 1. We have a "live" page in the hope that we can have many students texting to it and then it could be splashed on a screen with a projector. 2.I would love to be able to use this same system for doing conferences where students/people could twitter their thoughts or ideas to a twitter account and as said previous, it would be projected onto a wall for everyone to see live. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks, Shaun Hey Doug.

How many marketers does the average person actually want sending them tweets on their mobile phone? One of your commenters actually points out someone doing something reasonable with Twitter - using it as a community building tool - but that's hard work and requires some creativity and thought. Whereas the gist of your post, and your examples, sound like a "hey, let's throw everything onto microblogging platforms and see what sticks!" approach. Finally, there's the reason that most marketers haven't run to Jaiku and Twitter: they want to talk to their customers, most of whom are not using these things. Nobody flocks to a technology that the vast majority of their customers aren't using and don't seem interested in.

That's a great way to use it! You could advertise your Twitter feed and URL and also post those scores on your home page using their API in real-time! Let me know if you need a hand - that would be a cool experiment! Doug Hi Scott!
