Twitter and Blog

Today we were all introduced to Twitter. We had to make an account and follow our classmates and teacher, and is from now on going to use also this website to communicate with each other. Twitter is an American internet community and a micro-blogging service where you can upload your own, and read others updates (also called tweets). To see peoples tweets you just push the button "follow" and then every update they are posting is shown on your homepage. Actually I think Twitter is no bad idea, you can chose which updates you would see, have direct contact with someone and  link other people in your update so they get a notification  on their Twitter and e-mail and are able to tweet you back!

We have also worked with our blog today and have checked for instance how many people who have read our blogs these past few months. My statistics at the moment is like this:

  • Page Views Today: 33
  • Page Views Yesterday: 5
  • Page Views Last Month: 148
  • Page Views Overall: 285

There is an ongoing competition in class of who gets the most visitors on their blog and from most foreign countries. At the moment I have had visitors from several corners around the world. Norway and USA are highly represented, but among these two, I also have visitors from Germany, Britain, France, India, Russia, Australia, Brazil and Chile.

I think it is fun to read other blogs, and enjoys the Twitter updates from my friends! I recommend everyone to go and create a Twitter account!
