Twitter Assignment

I know it's abit lag but here is my second assignment!

Assignment brief:

Open a free twitter account, build a profile with your real name, and find and follow all members of digital media production class, including me. Use this account for class purposes only.

Use Twitter Help page for support.

Through Twitter search, find people who tweet about some of the topics or issues discussed in class so far. Follow who you want but certainly follow people who use digital media smartly and creatively. Be mindful of who and how many you follow. More is not better!

Compose at least one thick tweet.

Compose at least one aeoiu tweet.

Your demo must include:

a) addressing one element of your profile

WOW US!

Started off in class trying to Google the meaning of tinyurl, thick tweet and the other tweets.

So shall try and "show off" my twitter skill haha.




This is thin tweet!









These are thick tweets!

Still figuring out AEIOU tweets. Haha.

But nonetheless, I have learnt alot about twitter through this assignment.
I have found many ways to access to twitter
1. Web
-twitter.com
2. Sms
-From phone. (tweet.sg)
3. Twittter fox
-An add-on for firefox.
4. Tweet Deck
-An application where you can post ur tweets on serveral accounts at one go. Tweet deck is very useful when u want to manage a few accounts together. Not only can you post up tweets and check updates there, you can actually actually shorten your URL there to fit into the 140 character. Instead of going to tinyurl.com to shorten, this all-in-one application make life much easier.
and a few other ways which i haven't discover.

I have found afew ways to search for topics or people to follow on twitter. Twitter search on Google is a good way. Twubble is another twitter extension it works just as well.

I have learnt the most powerful purpose/use for twitter is to make an announcement where the whole world can see.

Basically, i have discovered twitter to be quite an useful communicating tool just dont understand why it limits to just 140 CHARACTERS! Really looking forward to more activities on twitter! You guys can follow me on @shipenglor or @ahhhpeng (my personal one).
