Twitter

I think that the twitter conversations and the blackboard along with the blogs are semmingly the same yet I think that twitter is better because it limits your though to 140 characters and cuts down on alot of unnecessary repetition. I also think that the interaction through twitter is less difficult per say and it seems  realtively easier to navigate through out of the three.
I followed Barack Obama , and the kind of posts that he has are mainly political and political issues taht are affecting us citizens directly.

Social Media

Social media is forms of electronic communication (as Web sites for social networking and micro blogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (as videos). And this has become more and more popular among our society as these streams of communications have been evolving. I personally only have a facebook account but rarely post anything on it I mostly text. I sometimes use it but find myself sometimes irritated by it. 
Reading the article  "professor encourages students to pass notes during class via twitter"  has posed a new view and I agree with the professor in that by doing this it opens up the possibility for virtually full class participation along with full-on conversations through out the class.
