TWITTER REFLECTIONS

Monday, June 21, 2010 I signed up for Twitter this last weekend. Signing up was a breeze, however it took me a few minutes to decide on who I wanted to follow. As I'm not tied to my phone and text messages, this should be interesting to me. I've probably received six or seven "twitters" per day, but most are simply news updates which this weekend was not particularly useful as I was around a radio most of the weekend. I can say I wasn't impressed when my phone went off during the middle of the night. There must be a way to shut that off during certain hours.

Tuesday, June 22, 1010 Oh my...not quite sure I'm ready for twitter...that or I need a different phone that handles the application better. My phone is going off constantly! Not use to the continual influx of information, much of which is repeated and not new.

Friday, June 25th, 2010 Interesting week...reflecting on my twitter experience...not overly impressed...cnn is sending me news about 6 times/day..but again my phone isn't twitter connected so in order to make effective use I need a new phone. The national wildlife foundation sends updates constantly! Most are related to the oil spill and I have followed up on a few, but normally by the time I get to the computer to check on it...I've already been updated via the radio. I do enjoy my daily motivational twitters...may have to look into a few more of those!

Thursday, July 1st, 2010 After a very busy couple of days I have finally been able to follow up on several of the twitters I've received online. I went first to the national wildlife foundation and was able to connect to several very interesting articles about what's happening with the oil cleanup in the gulf. I also found out about several ways in which to donate to the cause which was very cool! I did appreciate the twitter I got yesterday from CNN regarding hurricane Alex...I haven't had the TV on in over a week and didn't even realize it was happening! So I'm beginning to see how it can be helpful!

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010 Must be a holiday coming up! Much quieter morning! :)

Thursday, July 8, 2010 As I've gotten used to my phone buzzing at me more often, and have adjust the Twitter to "no ring" I've come to appreciate the experience this week. I've found that my cnn tweets keep me connected to the news in a way that allows me to pick and choose what I want to follow up on. Initially I thought for sure I'd cancel my membership after class ended...I'm reconsidering that now.
