There was a theme in last week’s blogs on how my classmates do not like Twitter. This week, most of them seem to like the RSS feeds. I am the opposite. I like Twitter much better than the RSS feeds. I think part of my problem is that I like to look at pieces of information in their original format. I would rather go to the blogs to read the entries than read them in Google Reader. Part of it seems redundant as well to have both a Twitter account and RSS feed for information. Most of the blogs/people that subscribe for RSS I’m also following on Twitter. So, they will tweet that they have a new blog post, so I go to it that way rather than looking in the RSS feed. If I’m following them on Twitter, I don’t really feel the need to follow them on RSS. To make items public in Google Reader, one has to star them; this seems the same to me as re-tweeting. I’m not seeing a big difference, just that I like Twitter better. I’m glad that there are several ways to keep track of the information so that everyone will be happy. I think that I will most likely stick with Twitter in the end.
The Flicker account was pretty easy to set up. I’m not a big picture person, so this is going to be more of a struggle for me to get into this.
On a side note, I now know why my students hate when I assign them to justify the name of a chapter.
