Twitter was discussed this week.  We learned about its origins and how it was inspired.  Twitter is the social media where less is more.  Being able to only post in 140 characters has shaped the way we share information.  It is a practice of quality over quantity.  I'm an avid Twitter user and it is one of my favorite social medias that exist.  Twitter popularized the use of hash tags and now just about every other social media platform has adapted it as a way of finding information and other people to connect with.

LinkedIn has become my favorite social media site as of late.  I like the idea of a professional page for myself.  I think it really helps maintain a positive online presence for people looking for jobs or even managers screening future employees.  LinkedIn offers a way to connect and build a network that isn't just about having as many followers of friends as you can.  Rather its about having contacts that will make a difference and be important to be introduced and connected with other networks.  It is the start of the electronic resume.
