10th EIR
Today everyone were told to read a case study on twitter and then answer the question below in our own groups.
- What are the factors that lead to the growing popularity of Twitter, especially with keen competition from other social network services like Facebook, YouTube, Wikis and Blogs.
- The article discusses some downsides to Twitter. How would you deal with these issues?
- What would be the future direction for Twitter?
After we are done with the questions, each group have to present their answers on a big blank piece of paper. Some present their answers in a funny manner. I had a good time laughing.
Anyway, I think that Twitter is not as useful as blogger if I want to find sources about my research topic. This is due to the word limitations on twitter. Furthermore, twitter is more of a personal thing compared to blogger which you can type anything on it.
In terms of using twitter for our research topic, maybe we can discuss some topics on twitter itself with our group members. While blogspot, we can simply read other people posts and gain more knowledge from it.
