Twitter just got me thinking....

It's the mid-semester break and I'm thinking about Twitter! I just realised that people can be followed without being accepted or having to confirm that you know each other like in other Social Networking websites. This is a unique feature of Twitter because being able to connect with others so easily (whoever you like who's a member), allows you to be exposed to all the possibilities and opportunities out there in a different way to help yourself in some way. If you're purpose/interest is to keep up with the latest celebrity gossip, you can do it on Twitter. If you're looking for a job in a particular field, or events, you'd be following the people "in the know" as Nancy in my group put's it - which can be like a form of pooling of information. A connection of minds, and spreading the word in an efficient way!

This is how I think all people can benefit from the use of Twitter (if only more people would join up and use it frequently!) This is what makes Twitter a more 'informative' means of communicating through its microblogging, as apposed to Facebook for example which has more interactive and social entertainment aspects to it through open commenting, applications and games.
