Twitter is not only a social phenomena. Its influence in education and knowledge management is exceeding boundaries.

But imagine you want to use something you read in a tweet… How could you cite it in your paper?

Gunter Eysenbach, @eysenbach, recommendes the use of WebCite in creating a reference like this one:

Now I can use some tweets on my final GP vocational training report.
