Reaction to Twitter

When I first heard that I would be assigned to use Twitter for a few weeks, I was a bit apprehensive. I did not see the value of the micro-blogging website; in my eyes, the website was relatively pointless and also invaded personal privacy. Rather, I preferred Facebook and did not plan on using any other social-networking websites.

After using Twitter on a regular basis, I have been accustomed to the website. I realize Twitter's value for the public-relations profession as well as other industries. It creates one quick stop to gather information as well as create responses to the customer. However, I think that it is unneeded for personal use. I do not plan on continuing to using the website, purely due to lack of time and the inability to adjust to using it. Yet, I do see a great value in Twitter: it creates connections between a variety of audiences and shares information easily and quickly.
