A month has already passed since we started to explore and use Twitter and I’m so glad that I’m reflecting on it only now. This time spent on Twitter helped me to get the essence of this technological tool and to use

it to my own benefit.

     So, as we know Twitter is an online application that is part blog, part social networking site, part cell phone tool, designed to let users answer the question “What are you doing? Each posting is limited to 140 characters, which gives a chance for the users to keep their ideas and thoughts short and sweet.

Twitter is a room of conversations, where a user can easily understand when to jump in, what to write and how to comment. For some people the public timeline is quite interesting and practical, because they can collect hundreds of friends and followers, they can keep connected with a select group of colleagues and acquaintances through a shared space and what not. 

      Tweets comprise some private information about a person’s likes, dislikes, frustrations and sometimes some of this information is trivial, some boring, and some perhaps better kept private. However, the information written in twits is an excellent way to get someone to know better. Although tweets in general are very little, they facilitate a new way of seeing and understanding people.

     As a tool for students or professional colleagues to compare thoughts about a topic, Twitter is a critical technological tool that force its users to be brief and to the point—an important skill in thinking clearly and communicating effectively. Moreover, Twitter can provide a simple way for attendees at a conference to share thoughts about particular sessions and activities with others at the event and those unable to attend.
