These are both short and should only take you 15 minutes to read.
I will add you to my following list, so if you are looking for classmates to follow you should go to my Twitter profile and add in some of your classmates. You don’t necessarily need to follow everyone in the class but add in at least ten to get the Twitter experience. You can also choose to follow people who are not in our class. There are several personalities on Twitter if you would like to follow them. Barack Obama http://twitter.com/BARACKOBAMA or Oprah http://twitter.com/oPRAH for example, send me other that you think are interesting.
Two other notes on Twitter. To make you Twitter experience better you should get a http://twitter.com/downloads for your computer or perhaps integrate it with your Facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/twitter/ Finally, note that if you want to block people or make your tweets (posts) private Twitter enables this function.
You can utilize twitter to help you Communicate your Findings for your projects!

ReplyDeleteI didn’t want to do a twitter account but now that I’m on here it’s not that bad. I like to be low key but I change my privacy settings for that. So I’m intrigued by the aspects of this page that is so hot in society right now
ReplyDeleteI never had or wanted a twitter account, but Iam only going to use it for class. I really dont get the whole point of it.
ReplyDeleteOoooooooooh! Fun!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy this.. Oh, the joy in knowing that at any second, I have access to telling an entire network of people what I'm doing at that very second..
Twitter's alright with me.. I pray I use it well

ReplyDeleteThis assignment allowed me to join twitter, something I had not looked into or even thought of doing. Social networking is what you make it so I am just going to see how I like tweeting over the course of the semester.
ReplyDeleteI never thought I was goin to sign up for Twitter but then again Sowk300 makes me do things I never thought I was going to do.
