a. How has Twitter (micro-blogging) enhanced your learning of EIR? Compare this with your blogging experience using Blogspot.
Tweets are thoughts of 140 characters being posted on the internet to tell your friends how you feel. So that they know how you are feeling and what were you doing at that time. Interesting news can be shared by posting links of the article. Articles that you might not read and know if your friends did not post them. Therefore, enhancing your knowledge. Twitter is catered more for the busy people, where everything is short and sweet. And it is very interactive because you are able to tweet to your favourite celebrity in another country and this is a good interaction between cultures and countries. To be able to know more about their country and life.
Many websites I visited has twitter too. By following them you would be able to know their latest updates as soon as possible.
Twitter are random thoughts you have unlike blogging. Once you tweet you can't edit it, it can only be deleted. Whereas, blogspot's posts can be edited and deleted. In blogspots, links of related blogs can be linked to your own, providing convenience to you and other users.
b. How can you use Twitter and Blogspot for research purposes?
As said before, Twitter can be used to share information. By tweeting links, one can gain information. And now everyone is going Twitter, even companies. For example, Korea Tourism website (in my previous post). If there are new updates on the web, the company would tweet about it and we can go visit the site without having to go through the trouble of visiting the page regularly.
Blogspots are useful too. Again, links are shown to link related blogs for more information. The blogs might be relevant and it cannot be searched on a search engine. Its like searching for treasure.
