Twitter Catastrophy

twitter tweet tweeting twittering, whatever you would like to call it. I, however, hated this assignment. I started 'tweeting' and it was going okay. I had followed multiple people and multiple were following me. Although even with putting my "twitter" on private, I still feel like facebook is more secure; especially by the "adding" of "friends" and its not so easy to just follow or as I call it "stalk" someone. I mean a lot of information is on these websites and realllyy super smart people have no problem hacking into a profile to find out all your information and your friends information if you have no problem posting things especially if you feel like its "safe and secure." Twitter, for me, did not work. My profile worked for the first 4 days. Then just froze, wouldn't let me post anything, or respond, or it just wouldn't load the whole page. I tried several times and different things to fix this problem but it didn't work for me. But this assignment is done now, thank goodness. I can understand how twitter would be beneficial for some people and in advertising but it also takes a lot of time to do so. To be caught up with everyone you would have to be on it quite a bit. Comparing twitter to facebook they do have a lot in common. Facebook is more expanded though, it also gives you more to do than just "update status." I love you all and this has been a great class and getting to know you guys but....I'm sorry I don't want to know EVERYTHING you guys are doing at EVERY second. Facebook seems to be more broad rather than twitter. I can understand a lot of people continuing to use twitter but I won't...especially since I would have to make a new one and that just seems like more work when I can just talk to most my friends on facebook. :)

  1. I have to disagree Jamie. Twitter and Facebook are both equally unsecure. It all matters on how you control your information. I don't like to know what everyone is doing at the moment either, but I believe those twitter updates come from people who don't know how to use Twitter. Your choice is your choice though lady friend.

  2. I like adding my friends to allow them to see what I decide to post. I'm not a fan of letting anyone and everyone see what I'm doing at every second of my life. These are things close friends should see, and Twitter doesn't effectively do that. I can see where Twitter may be beneficial to a business, but it's currently not being used in the right way.

  3. I totally agree with you that Facebook is the real deal and that Twitter is just a subunit of updating your status. And I also think that there is a line of privacy that every individual should maintain. Twitter might be stepping across that line.

  4. I agree with you! I didn't like Twitter either, or the fact that we couldn't make our profiles private. That just weirds me out, so I know what you mean. I would also prefer to contact my friends via Facebook, and will be sticking with it rather than Twitter.
