Thoughts on Social Networking

I have had a facebook since my Freshman year of college, however every time changes are made on it, I get even more fed up with social net working sites. One site in particular that I have always been against is Twitter. Every one kept telling me to get one but I continued to refuse. I found out that even my dad had one and he was constantly talking about how it could be useful for me in my profession career. He remarked that he had one because it was useful in making contacts that could be beneficial for him. However, my thoughts have slowly begun to change on Twitter due to the fact that I had to make on for my CEP 452 class. Upon making a Twitter I realized that you could basically follow anyone. However i did not realize that various organizations such a non- profit organizations dedicated to helping those with special needs had twitters. Upon realizing this and being told about all of the various cool features such as when we had class one day and our professor put out a tweet for all of those to say hi to our class and we got responses from all over the world. I found this very interesting and now realize that having a twitter could be very useful in a career and very helpful in building connections.
