The Art of Twitter

To be honest, I am very glad that Monday's class was an informational session on Twitter. Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking. It's 2010 and you don't know how to tweet on Twitter? Yes, it's true. I have been a member of the site for a couple weeks now, and I am slowly but surely starting to understand it. Professor Littau took the time to explain the lists, retweeting and plenty of other Twitter jargon that a user should know.

After the blogging and tweeting information sessions that have been given over the past two weeks, I have learned one thing of which I was never fully aware: brand yourself. I need to rework my blog and fix a few things on my Twitter account so that they are more compatible. They need to be able to market both me as a journalism student and the work that I complete throughout the semester. This will become very important as Debbie and I move forward with our project this semester. I want to be able to (or at least attempt to!) become a part of a small online community shares the same interest in journalism as I do.
