Thing 15.5

I joined Twitter the first week of school because I heard that it would be one of the requirements for this class.  I can see why people like it.  When I first heard of Twitter I thought it seemed redundant since most people are already on Facebook.   But now I think I get it.  You can follow your favorite celebrities and read their stream of consciousness tweets about whatever.  It's also a fast way to share your thoughts and/or interesting links.

I just created my LinkedIn profile today.  I'd gotten a lot of requests from LinkedIn before, but I wasn't sure why I would need LinkedIn.  I thought it was a site for finding a job or making business contacts.  Once again, I seemed to be the last of my friends to join LinkedIn!  I am all over the web now, thanks to this class.  I guess LinkedIn is the online equivalent of exchanging business cards, but much more detailed and connected.
