Today's EIR lesson was all about twitter. We were asked to update our twitter accounts when we came to class. After that we were sepearated into our own schools, ASC, IT and BS. Every group was asked to write on a piece of paper how twitter is able to help us in our courses. Everyone gave at least one idea. This actually helped me to realize that twitter can be very helpful in communicating with other people. Twitter allows you to follow whoever that you want to follow. It also allows you to summarize what you want to say because it limits the number of words you can type.
At first i always thought twitter is just a website that is redundant and only for people who has nothing better to do but follow other people. But actually twitter is a powerful tool for communication and to update stuff about yourself to friends. It is somehow better then blogspot because it limits the amount of words written. Whereas for blogger it let's you write as many words as you want, but blogger can become too wordy and people might not be patient enough to read so many words. But one good thing about blogger is that it is able to be set as private blog. So only those that are allowed to read the blog are allowed to go in. Whereas for Twitter, there is no privacy, people can see whatever that you have written.
The class was also able to reply to each other twits in a very fast pace. That is an advantage, because information can be passed around at a more faster pace. It will be good as work can be done at a faster pace.
So overall i think that twitter is quite a relevant website where discussions can be done quickly. Today's activity really changed my thinking of twitter.
