"Before starting C151 I had never even heard of such a website, nor that anything of its type existed. Actually, I had never even blogged or used the Internet as a way to let others know exactly what I was thinking or doing. It all seemed like it would be quite foreign to me and in the beginning it was, but now looking back on the semester I can honestly say it was a great experience.
I first logged onto Twitter in early January and used the 140 characters to let others know what I was doing, i.e. studying, being tired, watching TV, etc. As the semester progressed I started using the tool more as just that, a tool to help me out. I started asking questions of others and determining the answers to questions that didn’t have to be asked in class or with other means of communications. That is what makes this tool so unique; it allows you to have a different means of communicating with others. By now I am able to tell you who is frequently updating, what they do in their free time, what they do and don’t like, etc. It has turned from more of a short blurb about what someone is up to, to an educational tool to help learn about other people’s lives."
