I believe twitter revolutionized the world with their constant updates. Someone in the world could tweet something and it could reach an endless amount of users. Many different kinds of people use Twitter. Celebrities, businessman, students, athletes, and etc. all use Twitter to communicate. When conducting a blackboard discussion, people go on and post what opinions they have and wait for responses. These responses can vary due to the availability of the other users. With this wait, it shows that blackboard discussions are inconsistent due to the factor of availability. Sometimes users may post an opinion, but no one replies for hours. As opposed to Twitter, the tweets and easily refreshed and people reply in seconds. Twitter is better to hold online conversations because people are able to reply real quick as opposed to waiting.
I think that Twitter is very similar to in class discussions. People that are in in-class discussions each respond to a stated question and each person is entitled to their own opinions. This is just like Twitter because by tweeting your opinion, you are essentially voicing your opinion through the internet. In class discussions is like Twitter, except with a smaller audience.
