Reflection on Twitter/Blogs

Hmm today's about using Twitter and Blog. Tell you the truth, I seriously feel that Twitter has a lot of limitation compared to blogs. What message can you sent forth with just a line? Anyway, Facebook is a better social networking site compared to Twitter, with numerous useful functions. Moreover, its status update is comparable to Twitter, hence I believe that Twitter is less useful than Facebook.

Blog is more useful if you want to share your thoughts or opinion. Blog is sort of a journal, and you tend to reflect before you post. Thus, the post contains your reflections and helps the readers to understand you better, rather than using Twitter. Again, how much can you say in just a line?

So how blogs and Twitter be used for research? Unless I come across blogs or Tweets of professionals dealing with my research field posting about their experience, the blog contents would be irrelevant. However, blogs and Twitter are mostly used as a personal space. Therefore, I do not think that blogs and twitters are useful for research.
