Thanks to one of my students for bringing this to my attention.
It has made me use term ROFL for only the second time:

Where's the Web 2.0 interaction
Had a surprising lecture this morning.
In talking to students about citizen journalism - and specifically the self-publishing aspect of citizen journalism and its influence on mass media - it became apparant that very few students use Twitter, write blogs or post to YouTube.
They seemed amazed by the potential of it all and hadn't really thought beyond the social-networking applications of the sources.
I always assume that this sort of thing will be second nature to people in their late teens and early 20s but that was not the case this morning.
Still, I hope I might have changed their view slightly. Especially when I became evangelical about AudioBoo and its potential - more on that later.
