Twitter

So I am going to be honest here, I don't really like Twitter. I think it is redundant. There are already so many applications, or networks that essentially do the same thing. For example, there are status posts on Facebook, blogs are essentially really long status updates. So really, you could also us a blog as a twitter, and end up getting more information. I can see how you might want to use it in the classroom, but in my opinion, it would be more efficient to just have a blog.

Not that I don't like, technology, because I do! I think email and the internet has changed the way people are able to communicate and made it much easier and quicker to get in touch. However, sometimes I wonder if there will ever come a time when we never meet face to face anymore. There is so much to do on the internet, and a lot of it is redundant...but we do it because all our friends are doing it, or because it is new. I think Twitter is one of those things. I think it would be more time efficient to just embed the twitter mechanisms in other applications, for example like they have on Facebook. That way we can do all our networking in one place without having to find yet another network to put it all together, like iGoogle.
