After setting up a Twitter account, I also compiled a series of six examples of interactive journalism from around the web. I was asked to report a 200 word piece on this Twitter usage.
Setting up the twitter account initially was easy to do. I had problems trying to upload a photo, and also 160 characters for a bio was not a lot. My usage of twitter will become more frequent, although I do find it tedious and dull. The six tweets referring to examples of interactive journalism is just the web URL’s which link directly to the websites themselves. I would like to follow something related to my journalism interests so that I could gain ideas and contacts to develop and source new information from. The Twitter site itself is concise and easy enough to use, but I find it quite basic, and apart from tweets related to my subject, it is not something that I would be inclined to use on a regular basis for social use. I will also use Twitter to see what other members of my group are doing, and it may be of use to find and share information related to our studies from each other. I will use Twitter to update and share any of my own information that I believe is relevant to my studies throughout the course.
