I have used Twitter many times before this class but had taken a bit of a hiatus so it is nice to get back into it. I really like the immediacy of news and updates on Twitter and the ability to customize your feed based on who you are following and what the site decides for you to see. I like using Twitter to stay current on what concerts and events are going on around Austin, promoting my music, and networking with likeminded people.

I have used the Twitter app on my phone in the past when I was in Fundamentals of Digital and Online Media with Jon Zmikly, but did not use it for this exercise. I recognize the benefits of being connected at all times, but sometimes I get a bit overwhelmed by the constant Facebook and Twitter updates on my phone so I keep it all on my computer (which I’m on several hours a day anyways).

This is a link to a cool image I found on Twitter about why everyone is moving to Austin: “Why Everyone is Moving to Austin”
