Hello, My Tweeples

Twitter has been an interesting experience so far, but it all seems too fast paced for me, even after this experiment. I found five of the listed accounts to follow, and it seems like there is a new tweet from one of them every other second. Maybe I just don't have the time or the desire to keep up, but Twitter moves way to fast for my taste.

It is clearly beneficial to follow the media accounts, and I understand that now more so than I did before the assignment. Twitter is an excellent networking tool, and hopefully I will have a little more drive, or potentially a little more time, in the future to keep up with my Twitter account. I've definitely come to realize its networking value, so I won't discontinue my account, but I don't know if I will make the effort to keep up with it too closely.

Even with all the people you can follow, the thing I like most about Twitter is the direct messaging. I've communicated with friends through the direct messaging, and it's almost like sending a text message because you have a limited amount of characters available. So all in all, I guess I like the social aspect more than the media aspect of this particular social media tool.
