Blog about Twitter

Twitter can be similar to BlackBoard discussions, in terms of how one looks at it. Twitter is a site where one can express their thoughts out to the world by placing tweets. This is very similar to a blog, but the tweets on twitter are shorter compared to a blog. BlackBoard discussions on the other hand, is like a forum where you can discuss several topics or threads with your classmates in the class. It is more of like a back and forth kind of thing where one person creates a topic and another person responds or give their own thoughts about it. Twitter has a similar process where one can like, reply, or retweet another person's tweet if you wanted to spread awareness of a tweet or thought. An in-class discussion is different to an extent where you are basically tweeting, but its a face to face interaction with your professor or classmates. You are not behind a computer screen, but the whole purpose is to let your thoughts out to the public. I personally prefer Twitter discussions over everything else because you have more freedom on what you want to be heard about especially over the Internet where it could go from a simple tweet to a tweet that is viral and is all over the news.
