The second emerging technology I chose to explore is Twitter. This communication tool has stormed on to the scene in really just the last year or so. Created in 2006, Twitter enables you to post short messages (tweets), limited to 140 characters or less. These messages can be about anything you want. Unlike Facebook, you “follow” people on Twitter. Many celebrities in entertainment, sports, politics, and just about anything else you can think of have Twitter accounts. Start by logging on at www.twitter.com (included in my favorite sites ) and create an account. Then simply choose who you would like to follow and those individuals or groups will show on your feed. You can add a photo of yourself, personal information, ect. It’s very easy to set up and fun to see what your favorite celebrities or friends are up to. I just recently made my account and now I’m addicted. So join this new communication revolution that is Twitter and see what all the fuss is about!
Dustin,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information on Twitter! I have heard so much about it but I wasn't really sure how it worked but by reading your post I now know what exactly Twitter is!
Thanks!

I have a Twitter account but don't use it often! But I am glad that you really enjoy it! Thanks for the video as well!
ReplyDeleteGreat post on Twitter! I personally don't have an account, but I think if I had a data plan on my phone then I definitely would and probably be addicted right a long with you! I also liked your use of resources and information on it!
ReplyDeleteNice post! I haven't tried Twitter yet, but I found your blog posting to be very interesting with useful information.
ReplyDeleteDustin your blog looks great, I too chose twitter.com for my second emerging technology. I am still very new to computers and on-line communication so it's taken me a little warming up to, but I feel like I am getting more computer based knowledge. Twitter seems fun!
ReplyDeleteDustin I like the way you explained the Emergent technology 2. I don't use my twitter often but that is helpful to people who don't have one at all.
ReplyDeleteI have a twitter account too but haven't used it very often. Facebook is just so much easier to navigate around!
ReplyDeleteCool post Dustin! I still have yet to use twitter. Seems interesting tho! Definitely will look in to it now! :]
