There is always a talk about twitter and its use. As i have stated before on one of Shari's posts, I was not a user of twitter. I actually thought it was highly useless and stupid. I didn't understand it. All I saw were my friends saying what they were doing throughout the day. For example, I'm watching the Laker game! I asked myself, isn't that the same thing was a facebook status? That was until I took Shari's public relations class this past summer. I learned a lot about twitter, and mainly that it wasn't just a status update. Twitter is a good search engine tool- especially with Tweetdeck and ather apps. I used it for a project we had in class, and it was actually very useful. The argument over twitter is not its usefulness, but rather whether enough people know about all the aspects of twitter? When I found out about twitter, all i saw was a status update. But after taking a class, I learned that it was so much more. So what I ask is, How do we teach people more about twitter? Maybe twitter should work on a campaign in teaching its functions and uses for its site, instead of just letting "friends tell friends" Just thought it was an interesting suggestion.
