Tweet backs 23

"I mainly used Twitter to check for quiz hints and blog assignments, complain about my day and how I did not do my homework, talk about the weather and complain about how I am stuck inside now that the weather is getting nice, find out about events on campus, for example the Dave Matthews concert I had no idea until everyone talked about it on the Twitter. Also, how Bill Clinton was like 2 hours late to his speech at Assembly Hall. Then, I have to see what everybody else is up to. Even though I did not have any friends in the class it was fun, especially around little 500 week. I liked hearing about everybody’s plans and how they should not have been out so late last night and what not.
I found it useful because it was easy to get a hold of the teacher and if she did not answer usually another student would answer. The blog questions were usually answered by another student. I liked that because we are all doing the blog assignments so if somebody did not know, there had to be someone in there that knew what was going on. This took some of the slack off of her back, not having to answer the same questions over and over when we can just talk to each other about topics in class."
"I could see Twitter being used for news purposes. Traffic reports, Amber Alerts, terror alerts, or breaking news. I know, personally, those breaking stories would be news I would want to hear about. I could see Twitter in the future offering users to enter their Facebook, Myspace, and/ or Second Life names and Twitter can tell them when they sign in what’s going on. I know sometimes people enter e-mail addresses they rarely check or never check because they like the surprise of getting new comments or new messages."
