For lesson today, we learnt about the usage of Twitter. With Twitter, I managed to know a brief description of my classmates' research topics. They tweeted about their findings and I asked them questions about it and they replied. It was like, a never-ending learning experience for me. Besides that, I tweeted about my research findings and a few of them questioned me about it and I managed to answer their questions, and i was able to get to share my research findings with my classmates who are doing the same research topic as me. However, I still prefer blogging using Blogspot. At Blogspot, I am able to showcase my lengthy but relevant research findings instead of just giving brief description of it on Twitter. At this rate, my classmates wouldn't have to keep on asking me quetions as they might find the answers there.
I am able to use Blogspot and Twitter for research purposes by posting research findings and asking people for their ideas and opinions. I can even post a question and people would reply to my question with their answers. Example, I can post a question like, 'How are people able to suffer from anorexia nervosa?' and publish it to my Blog or Twitter and people are able to reply via Twitter or comments on my blog to give me their views. At this rate, I would have a clearer idea on my question.
