An interesting thing I’ve noticed in college is that Twitter has caught on far more with adults than with students. I’m taking a class about Web 2.0, and every adult speaker that’s come in has raved on and on about Twitter, yet few students in the class even have one. Many who do have one tend to use it to follow adults rather than their peers.

@ Vin

I agree that following the right people is the key to using Twitter productively. I used to automatically follow everyone who followed me, but I found it cluttered my twitter page with spam-type tweets.

@ Stefan

I agree that Twitter is not necessary for students. Like I said in my post – today I am presenting reasons to join Twitter, but next week I will present reasons not to join Twitter. I want to show both the pros and cons.

I won’t consider Twitter necessary as a student, but as a blogger, it almost is. But the main reason why students should join is number 10, just for fun!

Hi Nate, interesting perspective! I think the most important benefit that you listed is how it forces you to communicate with succinct thoughts.

I’ve been using Twitter for quite a while. I’m not sure what it is, but I just can’t seem to get into it. I suppose a lot of it comes down to following the right people and not being overwhelmed by having too much info coming in from too many people.
