Polyglot Incarnate |
A transplant of my now dying blog on blogger, but nothing personal, just course related. |
I personally didn’t care much for “Tweeting Teens Can Handle Public Life.” The authors made several points that I don’t agree with. For example, I was very surprised at the sentence, “Twitter seems smaller and more intimate than Facebook.” I was thinking just the opposite. For me, if I post…
I agree with you. I also think that people post quotes from their friends that have a very different meaning when taken out of context. To me I wonder how much grace, or benefit of the doubt, an employer is willing to give for certain posts. Whenever I post anything I always have this in the back of my head: What will a future employer think of this? Will is paint me in a bad light, or make me look dumb and incompetent.
Anyway, yes twitter is definitely shaping to be, for me at least, not an intimate experience. I am much less guarded when posting to facebook because I know exactly who my audience is.
