I'm going to follow the trend, and blog about the increasingly popular topic of Twitter. You know it's becoming the next best thing when people are using the Twitter trends (i.e. the # or @ symbol) in the Facebook community or vice versa. #winning.
I started 'tweeting' a couple months ago, though I still don't use it as much as other people. I honestly don't know how I feel about it, besides the fact that it proves how quickly social networking sites take hold of our generation. We went from our ancestors writing on stone with rocks, then having telegrams being sent via foot or horse, the home phone...now we've added cell phones and the Internet? It's a lot to handle, yet at the same time I couldn't imagine not having it all.
Twitter, for those of you who don't know, is all about letting other people know what you're doing. You tweet what's on your mind, where you're at, or you could even get crazy and 'mention' a friend. For me it's a way to tell a funny joke that you necessarily don't want to post as a Facebook status. But more importantly, Twitter is a way to get information. For example, I'm following CNN--so every big headline pops up on my Twitter timeline, which updates itself every few minutes. This way if I don't necessarily have time to pick up the newspaper, I'm able to see what's happening around the world via Twitter--who would have imagined!? In a more disturbing way however, you're able to connect with your favorite celebrities....maybe I'm following the entire cast of Jersey shore....but maybe not.
So all in all, Twitter is undeniably out there. Witt students are slowly becoming Twitter fans as more and more students are beginning to create their own account. So the question now is what's going to be the next big thing? It's actually kind of scary to think about--you never know what other crazy geniuses like Zuckerberg are coming up with these days.
For now, go twat your twitter and tweet your twat or whatever it is...
