Blog About Twitter

Twitter compares to blackboard discussions in a negative way. Firstly, Twitter limits a person's post to 140 characters, which are sometimes not enough to express your thoughts and opinions. Secondly, Twitter is a public webpage, that allows your words to be exposed and disclosed to anyone. Whereas blackboard discussions is a private college based forum that allows academic exchange of information in a controlled online environment. Finally, the language a person may use on Twitter is more casual, compared to the manner in which they relate on blackboard discussion. On another note, comparing twitter to in-class discussions is senseless. In my honest opinion, fluent speech exchanges are better than written exchanges in every way. The experience of an in-class discussion will allow people to hear the voice tones, see the body language and understand the implications of another persons' words better that reading them on a two dimensional screen.
