Twitter...

I am very sure most of the people knows about twitter in todays society.

I find that twitter is a good way to communicate with people and to express ones feeling. Since it only allows one to type up to only 140 characters, it make the message short and sweet or direct where there is no intro or anything just to the point. This would allow information sharing very good as there isn't any finding but to just look at it.

It the tweets are also displayed in a chronological order such that the latest post would be at the top and since twitter can also be a conversation starter, it can become a micro-IM too.

In EIR, we are also following our teachers twitter thus it also allows us to ask question from our twitter which is also better than emailing as twitter allows us to make short post. twitter is also compatible on phones thus it can also be seen as a SMS.

Thus this clearly distinguish the difference between a Blog and a Tweet. A blog is leaning more towards a personal diary or journal while Tweeter although call micro-blogging, is more of a platform where people are allowed to express their feelings or to share information that are currently on their mind at that instance. Therefore, i find twitter is much more instantaneous ways of conversing your idea and feelings without saying it out while blogging is something where you write in excruciating details of what you want to say about your idea or feelings.

Twitter and blogspot can still be used for research purpose as one might use both of this and can use twitter as a way to inform people about something and lead them to their blog for more information. So twitter can be a platform for getting attention from people and leading them to their blog, something like an advertisement.
