Blog about Twitter

A twitter discussion is very different from a blackboard discussion because there is a certain amount of characters we can post post on twitter. A twitter discussion has to be really short and concise each time we post something. On blackboard discussion, we can write as much as we want and it will show us how many times it was viewed. Twitter doesn't work the same way. On Twitter, we have to use @ to tag the person we are talking, but on blackboard discussion, people just write the post down and anyone can click on it. Compare to an in class discussion, both twitter and blackboard discussions are online where as a class discussion is in person. The feeling is definitely different when discussions are held in class. Most of the time, we don't praise others for the comments they make in class. We would either say something in addition to what they have said or say something different. On twitter, the comments are less formal, although we are still friendly with each other. On blackboard, it is more like a post. These are my viewpoints on the differences between Twitter, Blackboard discussions, and in-class discussions.
