News is news, good or bad, truthful or not. Don’t always beleive what you see or hear, always check it out. I think you are a vary open minded young lady and can till what is right or wrong. You are right about where news can come from. The point is, what’s the source of the news and is it news worthly. Love you, Ed & Carol

Adam, personally I’m with you on the news piece but I think it is an interesting path that Twitter might take – rather than letting Google Reader decide what’s good news, the Twitter community can.

Courtney, I think you’re right that college students have become much more “curious” about Twitter but I think the trending indicates that it is growing amongst college students.

You both might find this interesting: http://bit.ly/9fwwvB . Interesting information on Twitter usage among Gen Y.

Interesting perspective, Sarah. I’ll have to print it out for your Grandmother!

Comment on College Students & Twitter: More Now and ‘Hello World!’ by Courtney Porcella

I started using Twitter because it was my job as an intern at a staffing firm, but other the past year, it has become a part of my personal and professional routines. In September as classes began again, only five or six of my college friends were on Twitter. That number has grown to over fifty.

This number still represents a small number of my followers. I have also noticed that this group is protecting their tweets, have little followers and only tweet their daily lives. This medium offers so much more than that. Hopefully, college students will continue to shift over to utilizing medium for professional development and networking.

I’m finding it interesting to read about how college students are using Twitter. From what I’m hearing from people around me, Twitter’s not a big hit in colleges. In fact, I don’t know if I’d even have gotten started on Twitter if it weren’t for the fact that I work in marketing.

That being said, i only started really enjoying Twitter, when I stopped thinking about it as a marketing tool, and started using it as a way to connect with people. In that sense, I think it could be great for college kids.

As for a way to get news faster? I’m not sold on that. I’d much rather skim through the headlines in my RSS reader than weed through tweets about breakfast to get my news…

Comment on College Students Hate Email? Multitaskers! by Morgan

Yeah, I thought the not liking e-mail was interesting to think about as an in college vs working at a job situation. I run my own company, of mostly a gen y team, so we have access to facebook, BUT so many employers block it – that once in a 9-5 environment its seems like opinions might change.

Thanks for the feedback, John! I think Google Wave has a lot of potential and can be an excellent platform to facilitate “mobile computing” in terms of one’s ability to access a host of free applications with an Internet connection. Although Google is mighty, I don’t feel its applications presently have the same power as those of its predecessors – that’s not to say they won’t get there, just not there yet (in my view).

Very good point, Jeffry. The student we profiled did say that they use email for work purposes but is interesting to see how much this particular student tries to shy away from email – who knows, maybe that’s the next step for social media platforms?
