TWITR: Blog About Twitter

A Twitter discussion is very distinct. For one it's on a social media platform whereas in class discussions and Blackboard are not. Twitter's discussions are restricted or limited to 150 characters. Characters, not words! If one has something with a lot of substance and content to share, Twitter doesn't sound all that useful because your message will be slashed into a ton of Tweets that will be extremely awkward. More importantly, your message can be misconstrued all the time with Tweets being too short. An in class discussion and Blackboard discussion can go on and on without having to worry about misunderstandings and awkward looking content. Another major difference between in class discussions versus both Twitter and Blackboard is that those words are forever in the cyberspace of technology. Words said in the class, unless recorded or otherwise aren't forever. You aren't held to what you said like on your social media account or Blackboard account.
