Twitter

Honestly, I have never heard of Twitter before reading the assignment for this week. After reading the posts that our Professor tagged, I now have an initial understanding of Twitter although I know that for our next lab, we will create a Twitter account and will explore its tools. This means that after this Wednesday, I will gain a better understanding of Twitter.

Let me share with you my first impression of what I read about Twitter and how I feel about it at this point.

First and far most important, as always, I have many questions about Twitter. I have not and will not explore for answers to my questions because I do not want my thoughts to be satisfied, at least not for the time being. Perhaps after the lab on Wednesday, I will have a change of heart as I'm sure that I will change some parts to this post to reflect a better more informative experience that I gained about or after using Twitter.

My second point to my first impression is that only after reading the first few lines of the assigned readings, Twitter appeared to be just another social utility like facebook. I honestly do not like favebook and have closed my account as a result. I feel that since I got into the social networking era, it became a hard habit to leave and very time consuming.

Third and last point for this post. I find Twitter a social networking utility with a large potential to grow. At this stage, the company is struggling a bit with its IT staff and keeping the system running without glitches. As any and even current www company, those challenges are just part of the nature of being online. Another reason why I think that Twitter will grow in popularity is because this company has different uses that can actualy be useful and make the lives of its users easier and more convenient.

If you would like to read more on my thoughts, come back and visit after Wednesday when we complete our lab on Twitter.
