Twiddily Tweet Twitter

SNOW DAY! Yes that's right us university kids get snow days too lol. But time to get down to business.... Twitter. I've had a Twitter account for a while now and by using I have learned that it is a great source of information, not only from individuals, but from all forms of media, even corporations. In my opinion it is a useful tool for quick up to the minute up dates like "Jake got a new car!" or "4-2, go team go!". But with a limited word count per update Twitter lacks the capacity to provide in depth updates unlike that of a blog post. On the upside though, Twitter has a very easy to use interface that in my opinion is appropriate for all ages, also with the ability to post pictures, videos, and tag friends in what is known as "tweets", Twitter provides it's users with a variety of options to make tweets more then just a simple status update. Finally Twitter also provides users with the option to send updates via wireless devices (ie. cell phones, Ipods, etc...) this also allows for quick updates on the go which unlike blogging allows users to stay mobile. All in all i believe that Twitter is a useful tool for users who wish to keep their updates quick and too the point. Lets face it, we all have pretty busy lives, some of us don't have enoughs hours in the day to sit down at a computer and type out a whole story.

Sometimes it's just easier to say "Ryan for the win"
