I have given in to the trend and am trying out Twitter. I don't tweet very often and I'm still getting used to it, but I don't totally hate it. Currently, I tweet more about personal things than what's in the news, but that may change as I begin my internship this summer. Mashable has a feature called "Top 10 Twitter Trends This Week." They list out what people are tweeting about the most and whether they have been in the top 10 previously. For the week of March 20-26, the week Health Care was passed, Health Care rated 3rd and was the only top 10 member to have anything to do with a news event, everything else was about an entertainer or entertainment. And just to satisfy the curiosity, the president and his health care bill were beat out by 16 year old pop singer, Justin Bieber. I don't even know how to respond to that.

Wow, that's pretty funny. We see from that what matters most to people now days. Sad.......
ReplyDeleteThat's a little extreme and people in general really need to just realize that entertainment fades after awhile. But I have to admitt that Twitter has been helpful for me. I don't post my own tweets but I use it to keep up with mainly the schools that I'm interested in attending for my masters degree. It works well because I can see their press releases and immediate news and keep up now and feel like I am more involved rather than having to to research later.
