“The task of a leader is enabling the emergence of the new leaders.”-@aniesbaswedan
A humorous man will entertain people by his jokes. Giving happiness for others and accidentally bringing them into his amusement world and follow him. It is.

And yes, I am such their followers. And now I am talking about one of the most popular social networks that brings people around the world to be addicted with its service, TWITTER.COM

This is just how the way I express how twitter works. For this last one year I gotta say that I do keen to tweet my ideas, statements, short story, experiences, jokes, or even my bizarre thingy or activities in my twitter account. How reliving my feeling is when I have shared it all to my followers. Greatly feeling is emerged when they just response it or retweet me.
The case would be different for those populations around the world. More than a million people have twitter accounts for different reasons. Also, there are millions twitter accounts exist to deliver billions tweets each minutely. For me myself, my orientation to create a twitter account is for my own enjoyment. I made it from 2009, vacuum, and start to operate it again for early 2011. And now, twitter’s job is more than a social account for me, but my entertainer, my best friend that loyally accompanies me anywhere and anytime. Sounds hyperbolic?

In fact, there are bunches of social

    “My battery in my phone is dying” or “Oh, he can tweet but can’t text back?” is what floods Twitter user’s timeline on a daily basis. Meghan Daum refers to this as the Age of Oversharing in her essay “I Don’t Give a Tweet What You’re Doing,” where she sarcastically dissects the controversies behind Twitter and how nearly fourteen million users have completely abandoned Twitter’s “initial function to serve as an information conduit between close friends and family” (233). Along with her beliefs of Twitter adding to our already compromised interpersonal skills she carries the tone of being bitter and harsh throughout her essay as she evaluates the many answers to the question “what…

    David Silver in Twitter Meets the Breakfast Club, explains different ways how twitter and social media are great ways to keep in touch with classmates and students as a professor at a school. According to David Silver, he used to warn his students to “Be, Careful” in the mid 1990’s warning students what they put on the world wide web is public, until his mind set changed when he started a twitter assignment with a class on history of television cooking shows called “Green-Media” (498). David Silver’s had students join twitter for many good reasons, one being that “Twitter accounts are public, for their professor, their classmates, and the larger twitter community to access their work” (Silver 498). This means that the class can easily interact…

    The article “Solve That Problem with Humor” by William D. Ellis discusses the importance of humor. He begins by pointing out that being funny is a better way to win arguments.

    Sara Ridenour, in her chapter entitled "Facebook's little sister, Twitter.", elaborates on several different facets of Twitter that, in her point of view, lead to the development of greater tolerance and empathy towards each other amongst its users. She explains that Twitter users are not that concerned about the information they share on the website being public as they are aware that every other user's information is also available which leads to their expectance of more tolerance. I only partially agree with this idea because Twitter provides tweeters with the choice to either accept what other users are sharing or to completely ignore their ideas by un-following them or even blocking them. This option actually promotes intolerance as people…

    It is based on responds from the respondents on her previous article about the same topics. She shows the effectiveness of Twitter with the 140 characters limit and Twitter’s symbols like retweet. She somehow classifies the purposes to the personal group and the business group. She mentions “making friends” and “procrastination” which are personal. She also mentions “events” and “promotion” which are more business purpose. She shows a slight comparison between Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn on “Making Friends” and claims that Twitter “isn’t just a ‘business’ or ‘personal’ network”. I can use this article as a base of my topic since it shows different purposes of tweeting. It doesn’t really say anything about English language so I need to do more research on that. It is obvious that the users will change the way they tweet based on their purposes. Surprisingly the characters limit is actually the attractive part of Twitter. It helps users to communicate faster and more…

    A majority of college students engage in social networks such as Twitter and Facebook for educational benefits and entertainment. Twitter and Facebook usefulness depends on how the user engages in these social networks. Twitter is known for sharing information with other individuals who share the same interest, and a “growing number of professors are embracing it as away to introduce students to a different kind of communication” (Miners, 2009). Professors also realized that communicating through Twitter keeps students engaged in course content in and outside the university, and keeps them current with real world event alerts or issues that are relevant to the course. No one is ever too old or experienced to still learn in today’s society and professors even use Twitter to find answers to teaching…

    In our daily life, we all live with humor. Humor is a very essential part of our life. Nevertheless everyone doesn’t perceive humor in the same way. Man and woman have different views toward humor. That’s why some people say that humor has a connection with gender. In his article Christopher Hitchens has mentioned various reasons for women not being as funny as men. I believe Hitchers has captured most of the fundamental truths about humor and gender. Men are funnier than women because they want to be superior with no regard of the consequences, unlike women who tend to be fair and analyze the consequences of a joke before laughing at it.…

    Sometimes life’s most important messages can be seen when you do not take it too seriously. Humorists are the ones who can help you do that with their witty remarks, clever remarks, and satirical material on life’s issues. Sure some humorist might look like they go to an extreme at times with their material, even to the point where you feel that they purposely offend you, but that is the best way to get their message heard without being heavily scrutinized by people. I believe that since humorist are meant to be a source of entertainment for people, they are more willing to hear what the humorist has to say about a certain major issue in the world, and that leads me to believe that humorist do a play a vital role in our society.…

    With that being stated, as someone who has a personal Twitter account, I was intrigued by the title of Pamela DeLoatch’s journal article, “How to Use Twitter for Teaching and Learning” since I currently use this website as a go-to for political jokes, entertainment updates, and for sharing my own rambling musings. Before I began reading DeLoatch’s article, I tried to think of clever uses for incorporating Twitter into the classroom, and, admittedly, there were only a few ideas I came up with, and they didn’t seem entirely beneficial to the educational experience.…
