These are both short and should only take you 15 minutes to read.
I will add you to my following list, so if you are looking for classmates to follow you should go to my Twitter profile and add in some of your classmates. You don’t necessarily need to follow everyone in the class but add in at least ten to get the Twitter experience. You can also choose to follow people who are not in our class. There are several personalities on Twitter if you would like to follow them. Barack Obama http://twitter.com/BARACKOBAMA or Oprah http://twitter.com/oPRAH for example, send me other that you think are interesting.
Two other notes on Twitter. To make you Twitter experience better you should get a http://twitter.com/downloads for your computer or perhaps integrate it with your Facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/twitter/ Finally, note that if you want to block people or make your tweets (posts) private Twitter enables this function.
You can utilize twitter to help you Communicate your Findings for your projects!
