Blog about Twitter

Twitter and Blackboard discussions are similar in many ways; they both allow users to respond to other's posts and give their opinion on the matter. Twitter allows us to find all posts regarding the subject by searching for the hashtag in their search bar while all posts replying to a post on Blackboard can be found under the actual post. Blackboard requires you to click on a specific persons name to view all comments on their post while Twitter requires you to click on a person's tweet and go through all the replies to read the comments. Twitter allows us to see how people are reacting to a certain tweet because of their favorite and retweet buttons. Blackboard only allows us to react by actually typing out our responses under the post. I also think students are much more reluctant to speak casually on Blackboard given that it's primary use is for education. People on Twitter will be much more relaxed and will speak in a more casual manner.
