Youtube video of explaining the multiple ways to tweet

This is a youtube video about twitter and how to use it. The gentlemen speaking gives a very LONG explanation about twitter. It also explains how to follow people and how people follow you. It describes how to interpret the data from twitter. I know it is long, but it does have a good explanation about how to use twitter. Too bad he is such a rambler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSPRUcYoDww What do you think?

Check it out! I added Twitter to my blog. Now, whoever is looking at my blog can have a quick update of what I'm doing, which is probably something VERY important :) If you would like to add Twitter and become my friend, sign up at twitter.com. More updates to come later this week :)
P.S. The random picture is of Maui. I just wanted to try to import a picture.

Micro blogging in the business world

I discovered a website called, 5 Ways Your Business Can Embrace Microblogging, which explains how to effectively use micro blogging in the business sector. Besides twitter, other micro blogging technology includes Jaiku, Tumbir, and Pownce. Take a look and let me know what you think. I will post more on twitter later in the week.

What is a twitter/micro blogging?

Week Three

Twitter, its fun to say, but what is it? Before this assignment I had never heard of a twitter. I discovered three websites that helped me define a twitter, which is also known as micro blog.
The first website is a blog about micro blogging in general and more specifically, twitters. It gives definitions and other details about the technology and how it works.
The second website is strictly about twitters. It explains how to use them and why people use them, and how to sign up for one. The first two websites have a quick tutorial from youtube or teachertube demonstrating it's use.
The third website is a blog which has links within it sharing different uses of twitter and different news articles . This website is my favorite because I found it the most helpful. It is very thorough.

I am still trying to wrap my head around the idea of how it works. My understanding is that it is similar to a blog, but update in real time, a.k.a. quicker, though not used as a communication device like an instant messenger. Any thoughts? And please let me know which website was your favorite and why.

Cheers,
Ashley
