Tweet backs 1

"I used the Twitter mainly to ask a quick question to my classmates and professor. However, I also used it to complain or say where I was and what I was doing at that moment. I liked it a lot because I could get better responses from Twitter than from an email."
"I learned about social events and news because Twitter informed me right away. As soon as students heard Dave Mathews was coming to Bloomington, Twitter went crazy. Everyone was so excited and tweeted about standing in line for tickets and asking if anyone had extra tickets or they were selling tickets. People talked about movies they watched or concerts they went to. It was interesting to see some people complain over lack of sleep because of all the partying during the week of Little 500. I felt like I understood and connected with many classmates because of Twitter."
"Also Sometimes I would wait for 15 minutes and no one would answer my question, so I would log off or leave my computer. I would forget that I asked a question and come back to it a day or two later when the question became irrelevant."
