Communication Feast

     I never thought I could meet a communication feast until I attended the Ales 204 class. It brought me a fresh communicating ambiance, from Twitter to Blog, from Facebook to LinkedIn. From this class, I learned how significant the social media involves in my life.

     Taking Twitter, my favorite social media, as an example, basically, twitter provides a convenient way to communicate with fellow classmates and the professor at anytime and anywhere. We can share feelings or comments on the lectures, ask questions about the courses and update every minute happenings of our daily life. For doing these things, you only need a laptop or just a mobile phone, typing what you want to say and @ your potential audience and that is all. Obviously, Twitter presents a fresh world to me and the most impressive thing I remembered is the playing dodgeball story. I followed the UniversityOfAlberta when I first used Twitter. During those days, I got updated news for the numbers of candidates and I felt excited when the numbers approached to the record. Unfortunately, I had class on the competition day. Yet, I got every picture of wonderful moments from the twitter and it just like I was actually there. That was the first time that I realized the outstanding features of Twitter. However, there is just one disadvantage of twitter I want to mention, which is the characteristics limits but I think that is why Twitter can be that clear and fast.

     Likewise, Blog, Facebook and other social media also give me various interesting stories. I send my feelings and get feedback. That is the usage of social media but just this function makes communication to be colorful. In my view, social media has become one part of my life and their influence on me beyond my expectation. They guide me to really involve in the world and my life is connected to others. I made many friends from communicating with them on these social media and here are five comments on my friends' blog.
