How has Twitter (micro-blogging) enhanced your learning of EIR?
Twitter is an online application which is more like a micro blog, that enable people to do social networking through the computer or cell phone. The twitter enable users to tell their friends or their followers to know what they are doing. Twitter have enhanced my learning of EIR because twitter not only enable me to tell people what i am doing or expressing myself, it also allow me to ask people questions which allow me to gather more knowledge.
However twitter can only type up to 140 words, there are also scientific research that twitter is good. Due to the word limit, twitter users are able to be more creative as they have to summarize what they wanna write within the word limit.
I feel that twitter would be better than having a blog. Because in some extend twitter is less time-consuming, because you get write what you think on the spot rather than going home and think what you have done on that day and write. In addition, followers can reply what you post right away. Hence twitter having a micro blog is much better than a blog spot.
How can you use Twitter and Blogspot for research purposes?
By using twitter we are able to post a question and wait for people to reply. With twitter we are able to get the information faster than blogspot. The users can also post up picture that enable us have a clearer look on the research. Even though with blogspot users are shows more elaborate essays on our research topic it would be more time consuming than twitter. Hence TWITTER RULES!!!
