Blog about Twitter

A Twitter discussion can be very similar and different from Blackboard discussion. Blackboard discussions limits us to a group of people that are connected to each other, while Twitter allows people to follow and connect with other people around the world. On Twitter, when a user tweets, there is usually a character limit, where they cannot tweet a huge paragraph, but on Blackboard, you can write a paragraph or so, but under the title of a post. Also on blackboard there are threads of topics, where you can easily be organized with your posts, and find what specific posts you would like to read. Also, you can comment on everyones posts, and its easy to see who wrote what.
