Tweet Tweet

I was one of the people who completely refused to create a Twitter account. Facebook was enough for me. I thought of Twitter as another social networking site that everyone updated minute by minute what they were doing at that exact moment in time. So, I was not interested. However, as a course requirement, I hesitantly created an account. I then did not return to Twitter for weeks. Once I did though, I decided to start finding professional educators to follow and in this search I happened to come across some really valuable information. I began to think about all that Twitter can offer. If you decide to steer clear of the irrelevant information and are particular with who you follow, then there is a lot that can be gained. Instead of searching numerous different sites and search engines for educators and information regarding education, you can simply go to one site, Twitter, and find it all there (or at least a lot). It is inevitable with any social networking site, that you will find a bunch of extraneous material. Yet, if you search for a specific purpose there will worthwhile evidence of brilliant thinking. And this evidence is current, considering that they whole basis of Twitter is to post information on a continuous basis. Post length is limited to 140 characters (called Tweets), so they are short and sweet. You do not have to read through mass and pick out select information. It is all found within a couple sentences.

In addition, the site is free to join, which is always a bonus is a society where everything seems to have a price tag.
