The best social media tool of the year: Twitter

I was very active this year on the front of social media, trying at least every day to learn something new, to discover a new application or simply to improve my 2.0 skills. My main focus was to explore how the 2.0 changed our way of life, and I was extremely interested in the influence of the virtual world on the academic life and research.

The best benefits I took from Twitter. I created an account one year and a half ago, but started to use on a daily basis only in March. And, since then, it plays a big part of my virtual life. I found there very interesting people, extremely good resources for what I am interested in and lots of opportunities for expanding my knowledge, including in the area of foreign languages - trying to use my foreign languages for short but efficient communication.

For the next year, I would like to explore more Foursquare for example, as it is a very good tool for marketing and promotion of places and products, but I am sure that Twitter will continue to be a good medium for communication. And, of course, would like to see what's the next diamond in the 2.0 crown.

Wait and see!

The new Foursquare

is more social and more visually oriented - by allowing users to post pictures on the spot.

Another sign that little by little we are all becoming a kind of journalists or, at least, news providers.

Foursquare

It is a completely new domain for me. As in the last months I focused more on developing the writing skills and getting best advantages out of Twitter and Facebook, I avoided to enter too much into details. But now, found a very good presentation about this network and I am exploring the options. At least, to be aware of the opportunities, trying to integrate it as part of future projects.
