Blog about Twitter

In comparison to Twitter, a Blackboard discussions seem to be more formal. We conduct discussions with fellow classmates in a very serious professional manner. Your input is read by classmates and each of us can go in depth on certain topics. Comparing to Twitter, I feel like I have to proof read and go over it twice before posting it. Blackboard discussions also allow us to write as much as we want whereas on Twitter there is a limited number of symbols. 

When it comes to Twitter vs an in-class discussion, Twitter offers more chance for people like myself to express an opinion. Sometimes a person is either shy or not comfortable with a certain topic, so he/she'd feel better writing it online rather than speaking up in class. On Twitter, it's certainly easier to back the points you make. You can quickly find a link or a reference and attach it onto the post. Everyone's post will be seen where in class sometimes it's difficult to hear everyone out.

Wiki So Far

I haven't contributed or added any content yet, but I'm planning to do research and contribute to the Real Estate page. I work in the real estate field and by being constantly surrounded by it I certainly can add much more information than presented. I'd like to discuss about the listings and several platforms that let realtors post their listings on. Lately, there's been many issues with them which cause agencies to reconsider their entire business structures. So definitely planning to expand on that.
