Twitter, tweeting, tweet. That has pretty much what I have been doing for the past 2 hours, and I kind of like it. If I have a question for some of my friends from home they respond to it immediately via their cell phone, there is no waiting 5 hours for a response, it is almost immediate. That aspect of twitter is great but I still have not mastered the site. For instance what is a nudge? Why does twitter keep telling me I reached my limit on searching for people? Why can't I find people who I know are on twitter? I'm sure I'll figure all these things out soon enough but in the mean time I'm a tiny bit confused.
The other side to this is, since I don't have a television and I hardly have time to read a newspaper I can now follow news media on twitter. If something important happens in the world CNNI will tweet about it. My favorite magazine, Rolling Stone, is also on twitter so now I can stay up-to-date on my favorite bands and music news all for FREE (my favorite word). I am not saying that the 140 character updates will be my primary souce of news but on days when I get to campus to late to pick up a NY Times I can always get the most pressing news issues via twitter. Twitter is also great for staying informed with what is happening in the PR world and with any luck I can start networking for an internship and future job possibilities.
