Blog About Twitter

I think a twitter discussion and blackboard discussion are some what similar in terms of getting the message to the user, but twitter being much more user friendly. Blackboard lacks many visual cues and graphic images, and is strictly used for educational purposes. You can speak more broadly and less formal on twitter, as any type of communication can be displayed. Its feasible to say that twitter is an extreme updated version of blackboard, with many more appealing features and need to use. When it comes to comparing a twitter discussion with an in class discussion, we are missing the physical setting incorporation. We cant see who we are communicating with in real with twitter, but in class, there is more room for engagement and we can notice all types of communication cues that are given by the speaker. If we could teleport and communicate with someone in person at anytime, we wouldn't have the need for social medias such as twitter and blackboard, but that is not the case.
