I like how easy it is for me as an individual to participate in conversations with others. It's also great that there are so many different ways you can connect with people from all over the world - whether they're interested or not! I dislike having to keep refreshing my page every few minutes because sometimes it will take forever to load up. Sometimes it takes awhile before tweets show up after posting them, but once they do appear it's usually pretty quick when loading up again. Also, if someone posts too fast on their twitter page (like more than one word per sentence), then some of those words won't get posted. There was never anyone else who could see what i had said before i did, which makes things awkward sometimes. But overall, it has been very helpful for connecting with other individuals online. We have used this service to build connections between our team members, students.
