Live Tweeting

Live tweeting is an interesting thing. It can bring someone out of their comfort zone, but it can also give someone a sense of involvement to be tweeting about something that they are passionate about while seeing that others are just as passionate. For me, I loved the idea of tweeting like I am a reporter. I have always wanted to report, especially sports coverage. By tweeting live along with hundreds of other viewers, reporters and fans, I felt a sense of excitement because it gave me the opportunity to not just do the assignment for the class, but practice something that I could eventually do one day. For the first portion, I was pretending to be a reporter and tweeting information that others may find valuable. Towards the end, I didn’t have to take on a role. I was tweeting what I thought was interesting. I also enjoyed getting to see other classmates posts. Some of them were super creative and funny, and I kept questioning why I hadn’t come up with a tweet like that. On the other hand, at times it was hard to think of what to say. It was hard to try to write a good tweet that others would find interesting. We all have been through the twitter-scroll of rolling right past tweets that we didn’t think we would find interesting, even if we only read the first few words. I didn’t want mine to be scrolled through at such ease. I wanted to create a tweet that someone would laugh at or even think “I was just thinking that”. I learned that live-tweeting events are beneficial for those who are unable to view what is being tweeted about. I enjoyed this process.
