Twitter Assignment

Well, it has been two weeks since I posted my very first tweet and it seems like forever ago. I enjoyed tweeting for the assignment, but four times a day was a little too much because some days I didn't have that much to tweet about compared to others. At first I was a little skeptical about the whole twitter world, but I have to say it really did grow on me. I really enjoyed following other people on twitter. I found a lot of helpful information such as internship postings which were regularly updated and timely news stories that I heard first about through twitter. I think twitter is a very useful tool and I believe I can find a lot of important information through twitter. I will continue to use my twitter account because I think it is a valuable tool for sharing information and finding information. I think my client, would be able to benefit from using twitter. Twitter will allow my client to post valuable information such as, upcoming blood drive times and locations, hours of the BloodCenter and donation centers, minimum age to become a blood donor, post special upcoming events, and services that BloodCenter provides and to whom. My client would positively benefit from using twitter.

Writing allows my freedom of thoughts and visualizations to be applied to paper, and in the process enables my mind to flow and wander on a journey into a whole new world. Writing provides a way for me to communicate what can’t or is difficult to be said aloud. The process of writing is unique to me, in that I feel my voice come to life on paper. Being able to put my thoughts onto paper provides adventure and there are endless possibilities in what direction my adventures could go. When I think about it, writing truly makes me focus and express how I really feel and my opinions on certain issues. The process of writing helps to clear my mind.
