Blog about Twitter

In terms of interaction, I believe that blackboard discussions are on one end of the spectrum and in class discussions are on the opposite end with twitter discussions being the middle ground. Twitter discussions are definitely more interactive than blackboard discussions. Partially because Twitter has a bigger presence in mobile media in comparison to blackboard. In order to access a blackboard discussion you have to sign into your account and go search through unread messages just to get to yours. With a twitter discussion, the accessibility is much easier and it is also a lot easier to find what & who you're talking to. 

In a technological world, I believe twitter discussions are the closest thing we can get to in class discussions. Tweets in real time are what really differentiate twitter and blackboard discussions and what makes it one step closer to in class discussions.
