Today's (supposingly) reflection

Twitter is a communicative platform. You are able to see what other people are saying (or doing), and you can also interact with them by replying. Although it has a character limit, but ironically, it is able to transmit your ideas quickly to everyone who visits your profile. As blogs are usually meant for long posts, Twitter is useful if you need to announce something or you wish to tell others some important stuff quickly. Therefore, Twitter can be used for discussing what we have learnt in a lesson from EIR, and we are able to start a conversation with other people to talk about things regarding EIR. These advantages are much more difficult to obtain in blogs as we usually type much longer in blogs and we will spend more time on it.

We can definitely use Twitter and Blogspot for research purposes. There are some people who are expert in certain fields (like computers) using Twitter. Thus, if we have a question, we can tweet them and we might get a useful reply and expose us to more resources. Blogspot can also be used for research purposes especially for professional blogs that talk about a particular topic. Again, we can gather information from these places, thus helping us in our research.
