Twittering and Blogging from 31,000 feet…
It was only recently that I began using a cell phone…less than two years. It is amazing to me the things that a cell phone can do. As I was flying 31,000 feet over Montana, I wondered if I could send and receive twitter messages. So, I sent a tweet out requesting that twitterfriends send me a direct message and received several responses. I am continually amazed at what is possible with new technologies. On the second leg of our flight, I discovered In Flight Internet. WoW did not work very well as I was continually disconnected…but gtalk and skype worked very well and I was able to talk to several members of my PLN about our trip to Australia. I even was able to log in to Second Life and have a cool conversation with Louise Borgnine.
I usually spend time on a plane thinking about crashing into the ground in a huge ball of flame. On these flights, however, I was thinking more about how awesome it is to have a PLN (Personal Learning Network) and how cool tools like Twitter, Skype, and GOGO InFlight Internet are. Man…I love technology…I hope I can blog from Los Angeles to Auckland too…
