Final blog post

Twitter:

At first it was very challenging to come up with how we were going to incorporate Twitter into our presentation. We first considered live tweeting, but felt that that would cause our presentation to be too time restricted and it would not have worked. We would have had to time everything perfectly, and if something was off, then it would have been off for the entire presentation. I found it very difficult to use the computer to transition from powerpoint to Twitter, so that would have most definitely thrown off our timing. Instead, we made a timeline (on our timeline) of Twitter, as well as retweeted some notorious tweets. We basically used Twitter to tell the story, as well as show unique features, such as Vines and polls.
    A major difficulty I found was with the transitions from Powerpoint to Twitter. It took a lot of time up, which was our fault. (Especially when there were videos to play). We also found it difficult to tweet a timeline, considering the tweets go on the feed in the opposite order. We basically had to be really careful what we tweeted and when, so that we did not forget something and have to start all over. It would have been nice if Twitter had a feature that let you move tweets around on your own Timeline so that they were in the order you wanted them to be in. The lack of that feature I think hindered our presentation. There were some tweets out of order, but for the most part I think we did a good job. Overall, this timeline of Twitter worked out well. We probably could have spent more time planning our tweets, which would have minimized this problem. Lastly, if twitter wasn't 140 characters or less tweets, we probably could have just done what was on the Powerpoint on Twitter. However, that is what Twitter is known for, and I don't think it should change for the sake of our presentation!
