Twitter

Today I started to explore the hype surrounding Twitter. Before this class, I had never had the desire to go on Twitter. I don't really like change, so I was not too happy with the idea of having another social media site to learn. I also did not care about hashtags or reading what celebrities were tweeting. In my mind this is all Twitter was. Today I decided to put my negativity aside and give the website a try. This is mostly because it is a class requirement but also because it seems that Facebook users are starting to make the change to Twitter. Since I don't want technology to pass me by, I thought it was time to stop being stubborn.

Upon first inspection of the site, I didn't like it. Everything was new and confusing. There were @ symbols, # symbols and I didn't know how communication happened. After I started to read some tweets posted by my followers, I started to get a sense of how everything is done on Twitter. Basically, you just make a statement about something that is going on in your life and then add a hashtag with a comment related to your statement. It seems easy enough. I also noticed that tweets were not just made by celebrities. All this exporing made me realize that Twitter may not be so bad. I think as time goes by I may actually start to check it as frequently as Facebook. I'll keep everyone posted with my Twitter adventures!
