Class Reflection

I think I should try twitter. After listened to the guest speaker from Socilatext, I feel much more positive about twitter and I want to use it as a marketing tool for my business.Even though personally I don't like this kind of thing,it sounds like a free good tool for promoting. I thought about its ability as a marketing tool as others social networking products before but my negative thought about it stopped me from trying. I found his presentation is interesting since I am interested in marketing and communication tools(education is also another type of communication).

I like the word "A Transparent World" and I agree that the web 2.0 technologies are one of the main force that drove us to this trend.We express ourselves more and wider.Recently, I discussed about political issue with my friends on facebook .One of my friend who I have known her for about 14 years but we have never talked about politic before and even had no idea about each other's attitude about politic.But now we all express ourselves and send our message to even more receivers.
As he said we can use twitter or other social networking tools for:
- status update
- ask
- share
- discover
- monitor
- And also promoting

And have to thank for the good question on why some organization felt when they tried to implement these kind of technologies.He said one of the main reason is they don't know how to use it for.I think this is very important because sometime we want to keep up date with technology or want to be in trend; we want to use because other people use but don't know excatly why we have to use, or how this technologies will benefit us.Then we can end up waste of time and resources.
