TWITTER.......

So I was also asked to set up a Twitter account for this WEB course. At first I thought LAME. I don't have time to tweet my life story in 140 letters or care what other people are tweeting about. BUT - I decided to give it a go with Dr. B's tweet/twitter timed chat - whatever it would be called - a bunch of science teachers and the like get on Twitter at the same time, put a certain 'hashtag' in their tweets (#scichat) and then you can 'follow' an ongoing conversation about whatever the topic is for that time. This week it was all about WEB 2.0 - imagine that! I jumped in a little late as a monster 20 min. hail storm trapped me outside......but then I started reading the tweets. I quickly got overwhelmed. After reading for a bit I decided to 'tweet'. Nobody replied to my question, but whatever, I could have tweeted again, but I felt a little like I was jumping into a conversation that I wasn't invited too! Even though I know we were, I still felt a little like an intruder. The way people repost tweets and carry on little side conversations is kind of annoying too. I did write down a few ideas from what people posted, and opened a few websites in a new tab to explore later. So I guess I got some good out of it. But, all in all, I just don't think I have the time or desire to invest more into this. Tweet on.
