I LOVE Twitter. When I first got Twitter last semester I hated it, and I deactivated my account after only 3 hours. (True story, ask Paige! haha.) BUT, now that I have started using Twitter more frequently I have come to value the benefits that it brings.
The first benefit that I have experienced from using Twitter is staying in contact with my friends throughout the day. Sending a quick tweet to a friend takes just a few seconds, and it's very easy to reach many people in a short amount of time. Part of this positive experience has been having the convenience of having twitter on my phone. Now I can send my friends a message when I'm on the go.
I have also used Twitter to tweet my thoughts, ideas and complaints. I am a big fan of quotes (especially Story People) and I tweet them frequently. The quotes I tweet usually reflect my mood. I also find myself complaining on Twitter. Haha. Just today I tweeted to @MarquetteU about construction noise in my classroom and they responded to me wanting to know where my classroom was. This could mean good (or bad) news for customer service! A friend of mine tweeted about her cable not working and the lack of response from the company. They contacted her after seeing her tweet and fixed the problem that day!
I love Twitter!
