Blog About Twitter

                Twitter is a social networking site mainly used to promote things. From news to products any information can be shared with millions of people in one click. Discussion on twitter is very different from discussion on blackboard which is used by most of the colleges and schools.   Discussion on twitter is very limited, mainly because the number of words that can be typed in any message is limited to 140. However, it can tag many people, quote other people and can also re-share information. Discussion on the blackboard is not limited on number of words. However, it do not have option to quote, re-share or tag people it has options for commenting on posts. It is more of a two- way communicating tool rather than news-flashing site as twitter.

                Twitter discussion is also different from in-class discussion because of limitation of words one can use. In-class discussion is two ways and there is quick exchange of information/words. Answering questions is easy in in-class discussion than twitter.
