Twitter

Keeping up with Twitter for a few weeks was very difficult.  Because I do not have much free time, I found it hard to keep with with current posts from other people and when I would go to post something, I felt that I was just talking to myself, rather than sharing information with others.  The posts that I did read from others were both annoying and insightful.  Tweets from friends were mostly entertaining but they had no lasting impact.  

The feeds I found the most useful were BigShoesNetwork, and BreakingNews.  However, when signing onto Twitter, BreakingNews had filled my page with information which was annoying and I didn't want to waste my time reading all of it. 

As a student, Marquette's Tweets were always exciting because they informed me of things going on on campus.  I also found that Steve Rubel's tweets were informative.

Because of how many people I am following, it is hard to sift through to the important information, or the information that I deem relevant to me.  Like I said, I do not have much free time, and I feel that if one really wants to be involved in Twitter, they really have to invest much of their day to it, which I do not have.

Overall, I feel that Twitter is good for businesses, and other people who have free time, but for me, especially, as a student, I do not feel it is worth my time.
