Twitter

I just started using twitter. If you want to follow my tweets you can sign up to follow me here. My twitter name is modern_diva because I see myself as well...a modern diva! lol

Even though I have been dabbling with twitter, I don't see the point of using it. So basically all you do is post what you are up to or what you are thinking. I started looking for people to follow and all of a sudden there was an influx of people and organizations and tons of spammers who are following me. I don't like that aspect, especially all of the spammers. Yeah, I know all I have to do is delete them or whatever but still. Conceptually I can see how it might work in education but I need to explore this further.  I know twitter seems to be all the rage but I just don't think it is so great even though I hear about twitter on the radio, tv, internet, work, everywhere. There have been times when I wanted to post a follow up comment about someone's post but couldn't. On Facebook you can comment on people's posts. Also, if I want to see what someone is up to, I can just look on Facebook. So why have both? What is the difference? What is the purpose of twitter? Is it just a fad that will soon be gone and forgotten or is really something big that's going to last? I will explore it more and more but for now I am not that crazy about it since I don't really see what is so great about it.
