“The question lies in what you make of it”- Jack Dorsey, Founder of

I chose to talk to all of you about the one and only twitter. It was our New Media Drivers License class with Derek that helped me give my abandoned Twitter account another chance.
I had originally opened my Twitter account in the beginning of Spring to explore and learn this “Twitter” that I heard so much about. I went ahead and wrote a few tweets back in the day but I didn't become as active as I would have wanted to until this summer and in with this class that motivated me to learn and engage myself more in the twitter world.As I have learned more about Twitter I now understand the purpose and the many opportunities that Twitter has. As a Social Media tool
Today I would like to share with all of you how Twitter can help YOU. How YOU can take advantage of Twitter of it and how others have managed to strike it BIG with Twitter.I will go into detail in sharing and explaining why YOU should have Twitter in your life."So follow me..." (lol).
