I use twitter. The twitter account “@profron” (twitter.com/profron) contains
- copies of the web updates from my courses for the current semester; the Mind & World updates will be prefixed by “PHI 111″, and the Philosophy in Science Fiction updates will be prefixed by “PHI 340″;
- copies of the the occasional posts from profron.net/blog-posts; and
- an ongoing stream of miscellaneous links that might be of academic interest to those of you who are interested in philosophy of mind, psychology, AI, or neuroscience. (Those links also appear as the “Recently Viewed” links/notes from the right column on blog post page.)
So if you want, you can see these things at twitter.com/profron, “follow” me there if you like that sort of thing, or whatever.
If you just want to follow the updates on the web for one of my classes, you could instead just use the RSS feeds from the classes, available from the course web pages.(If you need an intro to using RSS feeds, Prof. Hacker has a nice one here.
There will not be anything critical to the courses that would be on the twitter feed but not on the course web pages and their individual feeds.
