Twitter,apart from been a social media site can also be used in learning.An example is Michele Lentz a technical writer and a professional blogger,she began using twitter to know other learning professionals.She was posting regular updates about her work,getting help from experts and attracting followers.

Jaiku is also a social site used in learning.Jaiku can be used in conjunction with a mobile phone.A tutor could create a Jaiku account to support a group of learners.They connect to the tutor so when he/she posts a message to Jaiku(from their computer)they get the message sent to their phone.
