This class has taught me that there is more to social media than just posting nice pictures with a caption. Before I took this class, I really only used social media to keep up with family or friends. I did know about the activism side of social media and I knew a little bit about the journalism side, but I knew nothing about twitter fiction and using social media as a fiction writing platform. It was really interesting to learn about how writers are able to create works of fiction on social media instead of just having to create fiction in the traditional book form. It is really awesome to see writers being so creative and sharing their works with a very large audience and I will definitely be keeping an eye out for their work in the future.

I’m glad to hear that 🙂 Twitter fiction (or social media fiction more broadly) is pretty nice, but I’m glad you enjoyed discovering it. If creative uses of social media appeal to you, then I would think that that is a promising start for thinking through how these forms can be used for the betterment of public conversation in these domains.
