Tweet, Tweet, Tweet.

I have no idea what to blog about right now... We haven't been doing much in my English class so I'm sitting in Newspaper trying to think of something related to English that I can blog about.  It's not working.  Not going to lie, the only thing on my mind right now is getting Taylor Swifts new album that came out TODAY.  But that's not relevant to English class.  I recently discovered twitter and we did tweet last class so thats what I'm going to blog about.

I've noticed since being on Twitter for about three days now that its a lot better than facebook but it still uses slang and nonsophisticated words just like facebook.  With any social media network, this is a problem, but is it a bad thing?  Twitter is used to reach out to millions of people everyday.  If big movie stars like Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie start using slang will their followers do the same?  I think they would. 

Maybe Twitter won't be that bad for our population considering most posts only consits of status updates instead of pointless photos and games updates like Facebook show on people's news feed.  Slang isn't that bad during a time when you are talk to friends but what worries me is people won't know how to speak to a professional when being interviewed for a job. 

Hopefully hashtags like #WhatIWrite will improve people's slangs use and writing style.  Hopefully people will be more aware that it's okay to have good vocabulary.  Maybe there is hope for our speech even with the social networking sites.
