Blog about Twitter

Twitter creates a new way for people to have a discussion on the internet.  It is very different from having a blackboard discussion and an in-class discussion.  The obvious difference between twitter and an in-class discussion is that twitter is 100% online.  There could also be a bit of delay with a twitter discussion because you have to wait for people to respond to you whereas in-class is immediate.  Twitter is also fairly different than a blackboard discussion.  Both are fully online but blackboard allows people to type longer responses whereas twitter only allows a certain amount of characters.  The more indepth discussion on blackboard might also take longer than a twitter discussion since people do not have notifications for blackboard discussions.  Twitter is useful though because people can think about what they will respond with, unlike in-class discussions.  However, they will be faster than a blackboard discussion.
