Thing #7 The Twitter

My twitter name is ecroskrey. I am following Jane, and the 4 things at Coe College. I also am following KCRG.

That was an adventure. I have no idea what I am doing on twitter. I really have no ambition to keep using the website but since a lot of people are using it and are getting addicted to it I'm sure I will become the same way. For now I'm not really interested.

Thing #6 Commenting

Commenting is important to blogging because it helps give the blogger feedback. This could help them with future posts in determining what their audience is interested in hearing. Commenting could also be troubling for some websites. I go to the KCRG website usually during the week just to keep up on the news. It is always interesting on the news stories that occur on NE side of town of around the Coe neighborhood because the comments are usually disabled. Obviously they have had trouble with offensive comments being posted on stories. Bloggers or people commenting on other's blogs should be conscious of this too. Also the 'digital footprint' we discussed in class. Putting offensive material in comments can also be traced back to you easily with technology. I am following Jason, Katie, and Garrett's 13 things blog. I have made comments on their blogs sharing my opinion on their certain blog topics. I also created tags on my blog for the previous posts because I didn't do a good job of titling the posts. The tag gives the reader a better description of the post is.
