Blog about Twitter

     Twitter has become a growing platform in social media where users are able to share their opinions and thoughts easily. A Twitter discussion is a instant conversation between people. If you have the app on your phone, you can receive notifications of things tweeted and discuss them with your followers instantly. This online platform has a limitation of 140 characters, which lets others post their thoughts in a simplistic way. On the other hand, a BlackBoard Discussion is less convenient because you have to login to the website and check the thread numerous times, since you don't receive notifications when someone replies to your post. So this makes BlackBoard less interactive than twitter. A benefit of Blackboard is that you can create long posts and have no limitations. An in-class discussion allows a discussion to flow among the audience easily , since everyone is in the classroom and is listening at the time. Classroom discussions have a limited audience while twitter has a larger audience , which includes people from all over the world. Overall, Twitter is a great resource to use to express and display thoughts to the world and receive feedback.
