Today in class Professor Purvis spoke about the mother of all social media sites. (Well, in my humble opinion, at least.) In 2006 that lucky devil, Jack Dorsey, gave birth to the tiny white bird sitting atop a blue background that allowed humans worldwide to express their ideas, feelings, concerns, etc in an (sometimes not so) easy 140 characters. Over the past eight years, Twitter has grown to become quite the powerhouse. Whether you're an eighth grade girl tweeting about your boyfriend and his "mega cute braces" or a sixty year old grandmother favoriting EVERY SINGLE TWEET that your granddaughter composes, or maybe somewhere in the middle, you've probably at least visited a Twitter page.
It goes without question that Twitter is my favorite facet of social media. My observations from day three show just that. Today's interaction included on average a couple of Twitter checks every hour. However, once again, I didn't reach for the television remote. And surprisingly I didn't flip through single glossy page of a fashion magazine.
If I were stranded on a desert island, and could only bring a handful of things, I would bring a Bible, a pocket knife, my sketch pad, some sunscreen, and my twitter account. Because how else would everyone be able to keep up with my island adventures? ;)
