Final Blog Post

This class provided me an opportunity to explore the different aspects I enjoy about Twitter in a more analytical and academic approach. I have always enjoyed the storytelling style like the Zola story, but the chance to read pieces such as Black Box and especially the “I don’t usually do this kind of things” piece was incredibly insightful into alternative ways of using the platform. I also found the research pieces, such as the one on amplification particularly useful as it articulated and provided concrete data for the sentiment I felt towards the ability to go viral or draw attention through Twitter.
