Attending a Virtual Event

I stayed in class today and tried to figure out twitter with about 8 other people, though I plan on deleting it as soon as the semester ends. I don't really see any need for twitter, especially since its connected to facebook. If your status is going to be reported on your facebook as well, then why cant you just update your facebook status? Nothing particularly unexpected happened when we were all trying to be added to the class list, but I did notice that no one showed up when they were searched until after they had made a "tweet".

I wouldn't recommend twitter to others because I do not see any reason for it. I am now following three of my suitemates, who had to make their twitter accounts for an environmental campaign that they are a part of, Professor Broderick, and postsecret. Even though I like being able to see the post secrets that do not go on the website, I do not care enough to keep my twitter account past the end of the semester.
