Another 48 hours of Twitter

Whats up everybody, this weeks assignment was for a period of 48 hours (2 days) use twitter as much as possible and see what you can get out  of it. I admit when we first started using twitter I was not a big fan, i just couldn’t get it. I thought it was point and i kinda compared it to facebook which was a mistake but with me being such a huge facebook fan I found it hard not to. While doing this assignment my bias had changed and i began to  enjoy twitter. As i twitted with different people i began to realize the purpose of the website. It wasn’t meant to be a facebook or a myspace necessarily but it was created as another method to continuously communicate with your friends and even professionals in different career fields and even companys. Its amazing the timing of this assignment because within this past week or so twitter has become more popular than sliced bread. More and more people are getting on especially since twitter has been receiving national publicity from such celebrities as Ashton Kutcher and Oprah Winfrey. I like how twitter can put you so close to so many different people. Twitter is such a great networking tool compared to facebook and myspace. If you follow the right people you may find that intership you have been looking for or maybe even a interview that can lead to a job. With the economy being the way it is twitter may save your life.
