To Twitter or not to Twitter


Do you Twitter? The social networking website Twitter has been receiving a lot of buzz in the media lately as an awesome marketing and brand building tool. So with some extra time remaining in class, due to a home room earlier in the day, I set one up for my DECA students. At first it seems extremely easy to use but I found people had problems finding my account or my "Tweet". See if you can find me our account name is IrishDECA.


I am considering using this at the next DECA conference in March to give the parents an idea of what is happening, but after investigating this, I am unsure. What is the difference between this and a blog an email or a text message. Has anyone else ever used Twitter for their organization, class, etc...
