Twitter

Blog 6/4 • Name of tool - Twitter • Prior experience - none • Pre-impression (after readings) – Before the reading I felt I was going to be inundated with tweets. • Post-impression (after assignment) – I think Twitter is a useful tool. • Possible personal use – I now understand why people connect with celebrities, I want to see what Dave Matthew’s tweets about. • Possible professional use – I would use it during class so students could tweet their reactions to live news feeds. • Most engaging feature – The hashtag (#)search feature. • Most aggravating feature – The fact that anything can be a hashtag, so searching is broad. • Comparable tool you like better / why? - I would compare it to Facebook posts, but I enjoy Twitter more because of the limited amount of characters allowed in posts.
