Blog about Twitter

A twitter discussion compares to a blackboard discussion, in the way of post and replies. In blackboard you can create a post, with as many characters as you'd like and other blackboard students are able to reply to your tweet. This is similar to twitter's tweet and comment feature, where a tweet is created and other users of twitter are able to comment on the original tweet. Both platforms are similar to an in-class discussion because the person that is usually in the front usually the professor, who poses questions and statements about a subject. Students raise their hands to comment on what the professor says, which relates to the post and comment idea. When a student raises a new idea or question, it is like starting a new thread in blackboard because it is a post with a different idea. Other students and the professor can comment on the student's statement, which then again relates to the comment features of Blackboard and Twitter.
