Twitter Assignment

Using Twitter was not the most fun I’ve had with an assignment. After I signed up, I had my son sign up too. I tried to explain to him that it is like text messaging, but you can have more people involved at one time. Although he created an account, he quickly lost interest. Maybe if more had been involved, he would have found it more compelling. I would have to say the same. I sent out some tweets, and also tried to engage others. It was kind of like fishing, except I did not get a single bite…maybe I just need more time with it. I was going to interface with the phone, but decided to wait and see if this is something I would use regularly. I know others who really like Twitter and are big fans. From and educational standpoint, I think there are more useful tool for student on the Web.
