Not really… in the end it went away. Just the concept of it was what kind of baffled me. I spend a lot of time on myspace and facebook… both which have a similar idea integrated. At first I wondered what anyone could possibly get out of constantly revealing every little detail of their life… then I thought about it again and realized that I do that a lot on Myspace… Its not noticeable until you really think about what you do with these updates. I tend to notice other peoples status updates and sometimes conversations do occur. You don’t really know a friend until you can make small talk of the small details. It seems so unlikely… the whole just talking about anything, but it DOES happen. I’ve learned things about friends through their updates and sometimes we find that we have similar problems or things in common. In my opinion, I would think that finding commonalities would be the benefit. It’s like getting to know someone but without actually having the conversation per say.

I can’t really say that I would be on Twitter all the time. It seems ok… its not hard to navigate but I find no real substance to it. I already have it on my page, where I already have friends, and on my facebook where I have my old friends. I don’t know if I’d even remember having it open on my screen. Which brings me to another good point. I could add it to my PLE and it’d be a different version on myspace for me. I can see myself updating my status while learning… which could very well draw attention to my online identity through Twitter…. this is how I got my headache!!! haha… it’s actually not that bad because I already went through my “AH-HA!” moment. Wasn’t that part of the experiment anyway? I just need to find everyone else on it… no biggie.
