Blog about Twitter

Twitter, class discussion, and discussion on blackboard are much alike.  On Twitter, users are the equivalent to students in a classroom or users on blackboard discussion.  You are able to post opinions about a certain subject in real time and other twitter messages will receive that message just as if you were sitting in a classroom listening to a fellow classmate talk.  The twitter feeds update automatically and seamlessly without the need to refresh.  This provides another feeling of being in front of the person listening to them talk.  There are limitations to twitter as opposed to being in a classroom though.  Twitter allows you to only enter 140 characters per message limiting the amount of space you have to express your thoughts.  Although you can continue in a new tweet, it just seems to be a hassle an it may come out as an unorganized thought.  Blackboard discussions on the other hand do not limit you to the amount of characters you may enter but it does not provide the seamless refresh that twitter does.  For communication small thought through a digital world, Twitter is your best bet.
