Twitter and My Personal Feelings

In all honesty when I first created a Twitter account for school I was extremely apprehensive. My apprehension did not come from a lack of comfort in regard to being on Twitter but rather a lack of respect for it. When Twitter first went live a few years ago I immediately dismissed it as a foolish toy to entertain bored students in class. However as time went on and I began to explore Twitter I realized it has some extremely beneficial functions. The one that I would like to bring to everyone's attention is obviously information/news. When I say "information/news" I am referring to the ability to follow companies/individuals that you are interested in. Once you chose to follow something you get automatically update, if you chose, on things that they post. In my opinion this fact alone makes it a valuable tool and has definitely changed my opinion of the site as a whole.
