Twitter?
07.13.10
I have obviously heard tons about Twitter since it is always all over the media, and I follow celebrity gossip so I do hear a lot about what the celebs are tweeting. Until recently, I had not participated in Twitter, but have since signed up for an account. I have chosen to follow a few people who have to do with education. I found these people by doing a search for “education” on the Twitter home page. So far, I have found the experience so-so. One of the people I follow, @lattesc, tweets throughout the day, each tweet being a link to an article about education. I’ve found these articles useful as someone who is going into the education field. However, she seems to post multiple articles each hour, so it is a little overwhelming to view all of these tweets. The other education people I follow post significantly less.
I think I will continue to use Twitter, both as a source to follow other education people, as also for the social aspect. I can definitely see the benefit in having the constant access to information. Though the amount of information is overwhelming, it is nice that I can choose what I want to look at or respond to.
Follow me at @lilmellyk, if you want. I am still just getting the hang of it.
