Twitter and Blog

Twitter has only become more popular in Singapore recently. Most of us were using more of blog than twitter because of the features. I, too was not interested in Twitter as i find it very lame, "mini-blogging" about what you doing now and then. However, after learning more about Twitter through EIR, i find that Twitter is actually a good platform for us to update each other about what we are doing. For eg, we can get to follow our friends on twitter so whenever our friends tweet, we would be able to see it. Likewise for EIR, we can "follow" our classmates and teachers so whenever there is any updates on Twitter, we would be able to see it once we login.

Comparing this with blog, i prefer twitter as we can get frequent updates of what our friends are doing unlike blog whereby you need more time to blog about your recent activities.

Twitter allow us to "tweet" to our teacher if we encounter any questions or research difficulties, likewise for blog, we can always visit our peer's blog for any information on topics if they have updated it.
