Blog About Twitter

From what I can tell, being new to Blackboard and Twitter, there are some similarities when having a discussion. Both allow for naming topics and writing about them as well as responding to other peoples posts. However twitter seems to do this more interactively. As far as these being compared to in-class discussion, to me there is no comparison. Despite the fact that these interfaces allow for discussion they loose all of the personal interaction which means there is no body language to help convey ideas, you can't hear someones tone of voice which can also alter the meaning of a sentence. To me there is just nothing that can replace actually interacting with people.
