Tech Tip: Getting Started with Twitter

Twitter is a really popular social media platform and its regular users include the President of the United States. The set-up was incredibly simple like most social media accounts are. I tweeted a simple tweet, Boomer Sooner. Wow. I think this is the power of social media. Anyone can sign up and tweet regardless of their status. In the past, people had to be famous or powerful enough to be able to show up in TV to reach a large audience.


I've never been a regular user of Twitter and I've set up an account just for this assignment. But it was truly fun. Now I understand why people always tweet (before I've never understood why), including the President.

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of Twitter design though. I dislike the messy design and so many unnecessary functions that require some time to learn. It's great that it limits the words though, and that I think is a good advantage of Twitter over other social media platforms like Facebook or Google.

Obviously, I can make a good use of it, but I think I wouldn't use it much because it's messy and tweets, re-tweets,.. and all the stacking of tweets are scary for me. I like anything that is simple and concise, and Twitter definitely not one of them.

Introduction to Peter the Real Estate Agent

Hi guys! I'm Peter, and I'm an OU student. I'm a junior, and I'm majoring in Communication. I believe I'm a very honest person, so I'm going to tell you why I chose to major in Communication. I honestly chose to do this major because I thought Communication would be a relative easy major. Nevertheless, it turns out that it is not! Some professors are tough and demanding, and there are lots of heavy reading, intensive writing, and several exams that I need to complete to earn an OU Communication degree. I still think Communication is a pretty cool major because I get to learn about many interesting effective communication theories. Because my major belongs to the College of Arts and Sciences, it has heavier emphasis on theory and research more than practice and application. Honestly, I don't really remember a "cool class" that I took last semester (I don't think I had any). Nonetheless, these classes, Myth Folklore and Indian Epics, ar

Week 8 Progress

I'm certainly not happy with my progress so far. To be honest, I'm in a serious crisis. I have been lagging behind this class since like Week 3 and it had been continuing until last week. That was almost a month worth of missing several assignments and lagging behind in class. I really need to catch up and earn more points by finishing regular assignments on time and doing more extra credit assignments, starting with this Week 8. Otherwise, I'm on ground for failure. Nevertheless, I'm very proud of my truly unique and creative stories. I look them back, read, and re-read the stories I have created, and I'm happy and satisfied every time I read my unique, creative, and authentic stories. I had a good weekly routine up until about Week 2, but I have been lacking from having a good weekly routine. I'm bringing it back to get more assignments done. The kind of assignment that I enjoy the most in this class is story assignments. I'm an extraordinarily cr
