It wasn't until last semester when my professor told our class ' You must create a twitter account, because future employers are going to ask you if you have one'. So, I could not help but think what the heck is twitter? It's similar to facebook and myspace but it's just twitter! Twitter is a more 'professional' version if that description fits.
Like facebook and Myspace it is a social-network with a micro-blogging service that allows users to send and recieve updates..these are called tweets (how cute is that?)
Twitter itself was created in March of 2006 and instantly gained popularity. Twitter has been used as a social justice tool to connect groups of people in critical situations. Twitter is free to use, so why not sign up? Even Barack Obama is tweeting!! You can see what he's doing and thinking by tweets he posts lol. But honestly, we are about to graduate and while yes hopefully there is jobs out there for us to try and get- there is going to be alot more people trying to get that job too! And, what if the only difference between you......and him.. is if You Twitter!!!

I am slowly but surely becoming addicted to Twitter. I do not have a nice cell phone that allows me to go online and get news and updates. Twitter allows me to get all my news and sports as well as some celebrities personally commenting. It's proof of the great communication based society we have today.
