Before the 1st lesson I never heard of twitter. Before this course, I wouldn't notice any internet new phenomenon, I do think that if this is a trendy I will know that naturally, because I am in the generation.
I start to feel interest in this subject, after I finished the essay.
For the assignment, I read all the readings and the blogs, feel that this is time to wake from hibernating and find that invest this WWW phenomenon is interesting.
There is 1st issue that keeps popping up in my mind is "What is twitter", is it really popular, is it like facebook?
Google search results: facebook vs twitter
I find this article, talk about the different between this 2 applications
"Facebook appeals to people looking to reconnect with old friends and family members or find new friends online."
"Twitter.....a large party or social event where you don’t know most of the people in attendance, you will use a very different style of communication, more like Twitter; you want to meet people and somehow make yourself known, stand out from the crowd, make an impression, self promote and make new connections."
However I still not clear what twitter is, best ways to know is use it.
then I search "how to start twitter" in google and join twitter
after sign in, I have to find some twitter users to follow, but i don't know who i should follow, i browse different user, find top users in melbourne,
I feel that Lilylauren is a girl have many friends, tweets in her page is conversation,
The other three, are information tweets by the page users, not much dialogue...
I do think I need time to figure it out, and I want to invite everyone in this class to join twitter, and we learn how to use it together : )
