Twitter Feed

Last week I was watching the General Conference for the LDS church. While the conference goes on, many people tweet about it. As I watched the conference, I decided to also watch #LDSConf on Twitter. It was a great experience. As I was watching the feed, I actually learned things and realized things about the talks that I did not originally notice. I would hear something I liked, then go check to see what people tweeted about it. Sometimes, there would be some good tweets that helped my recognize a further explanation upon something that was said. I can truly say that watching twitter helped me enjoy the conference even more. Of course, not all tweets where worthwhile, and there was a lot of "noise", but even with all the noise, it was a worth-while experience. I will be following twitter for all conferences to come.

  2. My only issue was sometimes finding it too enthralling. I would find myself so caught up int reading tweets, I would miss out on what the speaker was saying. I had to limit myself to looking when I missed something or was curious as to what others thought on the subject.

  3. I found the twitter feed particularly distracting. It is good that we are all different, though.
