Blog About Twitter

Twitter has become a popular way for people to exchange their thoughts on certain issues, update their statuses and sometimes have ongoing discussions about mutual interests. On Twitter, you can directly comment on other users' tweets or repost their tweet with a reply. However, it is limited to a certain amount of characters per post, so you can only get in about 2-3 sentences depending on length. As compared to a discussion board on Blackboard, it creates a thread for all users to see what others have written/commented and you could either reply to the whole thread or a particular person. There is no limit in length for the amount that you could write and offers options to personalize your font, color, add hyperlinks, or bold/italic font. As per an in person discussion, people can freely express their thoughts on an issue without having to go onto a computer or an app. It's a faster way for people to openly communicate and share their ideas. Usually there is a facilitator and people can go around either raising their hands or continuously voice what they need to say.
