Twitter reading app
I don’t really understand the whole Twitter/Tweeting thing. After a few minutes on Twitter last week I still don’t understand how to use it. Trying to follow the tweets and re-tweets was a little overwhelming. I found the experience much like trying to decipher code. So much information and responses were updating every few second that I couldn’t read any one post without it being bumped to the middle of the page. So I uploaded an app to my iPhone called TweetDeck. Much like Twitter, I don’t know how to use the app. Maybe I can benefit from a Twitter iPhone app E-learning.

I really had the same case as yours when I started to work with twitter. I think like many other technologies, twitter seems confusing at the beginning, however if we try to participate in the chats and conversations by sending twits we will become comfortable and interested in twitter.
ReplyDeleteTina, I'm a little disoriented as well. This is still new for me...I got a new account this morning, and haven't spent time on this, I guess. Didn't realize I had to download a reading application. Will try TweetDeck.
ReplyDeleteI initially used Twitter to update random things to get a quick chuckle. I don't have many followers, but I enabled my cell phone to receive tweets - and I tell ya, there are people that tweet all the time. So I pretty much disabled that function.
ReplyDeleteBut when seeing how Ethan uses Twitter, as a social networking tool with professional in the field of ID - each tweet becomes relevant, so perhaps that's what we need to do to create more usability... find a community with similar interests and tweet away...
