I never had a twitter account before, so when the professor told us we had to make one I was a little confuse I didn't understand what was the purpose behind it. I always though of twitter as a Facebook where you have a status and people comment on it. However, twitter is different I mean it serves the same purpose to inform other people about whats going on in your life at the moment but it has a twist to it. with facebook you can comment on peoples status and it would show up on your wall if those are your settings,there are tons of apps that I find somehow ridiculous. For example play tennis with so and so or put your top ten friends in order. really? and the stuff that you can write on your status can be as long as a book, well maybe I'm being over dramatic but seriously there are people out there that actually do that and I find that annoying. So I guess the thing that makes twitter unique and in a way so catchy is that you don't have the privilege of writing a book as your status. you only have 140 words max, therefore you only write your main points and what you want people to know. I still don't understand why people want to tell the world whats going on in their life. well I guess we as humans we want to express out what we feel without anyone telling us to shut up, and we want people to hear our problems without them ignoring us.in conclusion, I think that's the purpose of twitter to scream out loud our life so that everyone knows about it and so in a way we feel better. I mean it does feel better when we get things out of our chest=)
The time type that I saw the most on Twitter is the Stellar time. I found out that most of the people on twitter talk about how nice the weather was and how they couldn't wait for summer to come. also, they were making plans to go out or to do something special outside because the weather was going to allowed them to do it. as a result they were changing their plans to do something different. Also, most of the people talk about how horrible was the weekend because it rain, and their plans got unexpectedly change because of the cancellations, last minute. And then when this kind of stuff happens you can only think what would had happen if it didn't rain and our plans hadn't change? we are only left to wonder.....
