twitter!

Well, I never though I would "tweet." I tended to make fun of the people who were obsessed with it. I actually did however, have an account prior to this class. My mom and I did not understand why celebrities were all on twitter so I signed up. I had NO idea how to use it so I immediately thought, "this is dumb," and never went back. Then I signed up for Gee's PR Writing class. When I first started hearing about all my teachers talking that twitter is a big thing, I was so confused. I was like twitter for business really? But it definitely makes sense. After using it more often than ever before (although at times I lacked on the daily post due to my forgetful mind and bad internet connection!). I found this once very odd yet interesting concept very useful. I was able to go and check out current happenings by adding things like Marquette and Big Shoes Network. I never saw such a communicative and interactive network until this. It is amazing the things that can be spread on there. Nobody needs to pick up a telephone or even email anymore! I really discovered the benefits of being on twitter. Although I am unsure of how much I will use it for personal use, I definitely see a Twitter for business in my future. But I would not post things that are too personal like that one business professional that tweeted about her miscarriage! That kind of stuff is crazy which is how I feel alot of people are on Facebook; too personal and too open. But for a business aspect, Twitter is fabulous. I am excited to embark on more of the Twitter craze!
