Twitter

I bought a new Blackberry on Sunday. I had a Blackberry before and I gave it up because I didn't feel that I utilized all the cool apps and gadgets that came with the Blackberry. Recently, I had been missing my Blackberry. As soon as I left the store I downloaded the Twitter app to my phone. My little red alert light is blinking nonstop. Someone always has something to say. Ryan Seacrest is telling me what is happening on Idol. The Ranting Teacher is trying to sound optimistic about his/her day. I'm learning how the Badgers are performing in their latest competition. People magazine is telling me the latest celebrity gossip. The Mayo Clinic is telling me how to tell if I've had a stroke. Travel Wisconsin is telling me what's happening around the state this weekend. Education.com is informing me of new happenings in the world of education. Obviously, the amount of information tweeted to a person depends on the number of people they follow. I think the greatest aspect of Twitter is when a person I follow suggests some other people to check out on Twitter. A person could truly find the information for anything they need on any given topic. It's a great tool. Personally, I don't have any friends who are on Twitter, for me it is a professional tool and a way for me to keep up on current events of all sorts.
