Twitter

Honestly, I have never considered joinging Twitter and probably would not have if not for this class. Twitter did not capture my attention because I saw it as an extension of the over-used "Facebook Status". My two weeks of using Twitter has confirmed my belief that the site is not for me, well at least as of now. Throughout the process I felt as if I was forcing myself to speak to the world about things that were of general concern.

However, overall Twitter has its place in social media. Throughtout my two week trial I discovered that alot of celebrities and organizations use Twitter. I feel that Twitter is best for people with an established fan base. Popularity is the basis of Twitter. As seen with the trends, only the most talked about topics will appear on the main page. Most times the popular topics deal with celebrities from other social media.

I believe that ordinary people, such as myself, should not have a Twitter page without a set goal of professional networking or promoting some cause/event. I do not think other reasons such as social networking or gossip are sufficient enough to get the most out of the Twitter experience.
