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

Hi Ashley, you're post has given me a basic understanding of a twitter. I will read some and return with more thoughts. Nice job!
Hey Ashley...
Twitters can also be used for Sports Columnists or News companies when they have games which need quick blog updates, or stories which are breaking news....
It may seem unneccessary, but I'm sure it can be used in education somehow. Possibly an idea for a game where the team with the fastest response gets a prize...??
It's a work in progress. Good find.
