2nd Time Is The Charm

Last semester I took Gee's social media class, this is where I was first introduced to twitter. Although I completed the assignment, I still wasn't totally sold on the idea. I understood the concept and the draw to it, but I didn't really see my place in the whole network.

Now,my second time around I am finally feeling comfortable in the twittersphere. Not only am I following the people Gee recommended but I am also following some other interesting people and celebrities. A majority of the people I follow and actually read their tweets,are those tied to the fashion industry in some way. Both Betsey Johnson and Diane Von Furstenburg (two of my favorite designers) have twitter accounts. I love seeing what their up to, and I especially get excited when they use twitpic, and show where they are, or what they are currently working on.

Besides the people I follow for pure enjoyment, I also follow those who focus specifically on internships and the job market. I am working on getting an internship for second semester and all the tweets about openings and applications has really been great.

Finally I feel comfortable posting and take part in the social media forum. I've learned from the posts that I enjoy reading, about how to post and write in ways that will be informational and entertaining for my followers. I will continue to work on my presence on twitter, and hopefully gain even more understanding and knowledge as my tweets continue.
