Twitter is my favorite way of communicating with my friends, catching up on the news, finding out who won the game, and sometimes reading a spoil alert about a new episode of my favorite TV show (unfortunately). There are all different types of Anonymous accounts that are there to make people laugh, and celebrities have twitters also.
I like Twitter better than Facebook because its just for people's thoughts. No one is inviting me to play a stupid computer game or blowing up my time line with spam and invitations to play "Farmville" or whatever game they are inviting me to. I just like to see whats going on in those whose lives I care about but do not see often, or maybe pictures of a vacation, etc.
Instructors need to know the importance of social networking because it is apart of the adolescents everyday lives now. I never go anywhere without my phone and I have been that way since my first flip phone. The future generations are going to become more tech savvy and soon a new social networking site will appear ten times better than the most popular ones of today.
I can only see the use of Twitter in the classroom if someone needed to do a biography about a celebrity or do a newsletter for the here and now subjects of our world. Facebook would be the better classroom option because people can create private groups. This would be good for group work, online discussions, etc.
