Twitter Experience

After tweeting for two weeks, I have learned a lot about the importance of social media in our society. It is not a fad, but a revolution that is here to stay. Soon I will be graduating and I know that this experience with twitter will be beneficial. I was very skeptical at first and didn't see the point of twitter, but now have a new appreciation.

I liked that tweets got to the point right away. Only using 140 characters guaranteed that the update would be fast and concise. I enjoyed reading what others had to say and found out about interesting articles through many classmates tweets. I also liked how I was able to express myself and update the twitter world what I was doing.

However, I didn't like that we were forced to tweet twice a day. Sometimes I would forget or have nothing to say. I also didn't like that we had to tweet to other classmates twice a day. I would have preferred to have to tweet to anyone twice a day. Twitter is not as addictive as other social media's, like Facebook. I would only go on for 5 minutes tops before I got bored.

I hope to continue to tweet as much as I can and look forward to the continuous success of social media.
