The Wonder that is Twitter

I have to admit, I had my doubts about Twitter when I first heard about it from one of my professors last year. The way that he described it to us just sounded creepy! I stand corrected, though, after learning more about Twitter with our class. I think it would be a fun concept if as many of my Facebook friends were actively "Tweeting". The problem is, if you aren't a member of Twitter, it seems to be the trend that you have no idea what Twitter is!
Tonight, during the tallying of the results of the Presidential Election, I was watching Steven Colbert report on Comedy Central, and he mentioned "I am Twittering as I am reporting."
It was quick, and if I didn't know what Twitter was, it would have gone over my head, but it was exciting for me, thanks to this class!

Thats funny that you mention Steven Colbert's comment about Twitter because I was watching the show and I thought the same thing. I think Twitter is a little creepy in a sense, but I think that same about facebook also. However, I do think it is a great way to network and learn more about the issues going on in our country and the world.
