I was already addicted to it - I use it as a
way of keeping in touch quickly and
conveniently with people
It is ok - good way of keeping in contact
with some people

Much prefer Facebook as you're not
restricted on the word count. And more
applications.
Was not interested, seemed complicated
Slightly self indulgent
boring compared to MySpace and

Part of my semester-long study, the
creative project, I'm doing a cartoon about
Hamlet, so what I was often doing wastweeting ideas out on that one where I
knew I had a lot more people who would
respond and say 'does this idea sound like
it works and what do you think? (Jenny)
Student use of Twitter (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/twitter-aldinhe-new 48/62
Ive actually got a Twitter account - I set
up a different one for the module - but I
never used it, all I did was followcelebrities. When Katie and Peter were
splitting up it was quite handy cos I
could see what was going on.(Roz)
Student use of Twitter (2)
8/9/2019 Twitter ALDinHE New
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/twitter-aldinhe-new 49/62
I had an account, but I didn't ever really
use it. I followed quite a few people, sort
of celebrities and stuff but I didn't checkit every day. [] I wasn't a user but I did
have an account so I was very aware of
it. (Amelia)

I joined about six months before the
module started just because I heard a lot
of hype about it. A couple of friends had joined and I heard about it on Radio 1
and things so I wanted to see what it
was about. I was following some of the
main people like Chris Moyles and Stephen Fry, people like that, people I
knew tweeted a lot. (Sarah)

Because I dont go on Twitter a lot, I
didnt become second nature to me just
to go on it; it was something I had tothink about. (Roz)
Not second nature

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/twitter-aldinhe-new 54/62
Starting the module, I was quite
interested to see how it would work. I
started, I did use it, and then it sort of dropped off my radar just cos I wasnt
using it everyday or whatever. (Amelia)
off my radar

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/twitter-aldinhe-new 55/62
I love the idea of Twitter but I guess its
[i.e. not using it] almost entirely because
my close friends and family dont use it.(Amelia)
Use of SNS about prior affiliations

I think it [Facebook] would have worked
a whole lot better; I think you would
have had tweeting every day well, nottweeting, facebooking everyday,
commenting everyday. (Roz)
facebooking everyday
8/9/2019 Twitter ALDinHE New
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/twitter-aldinhe-new 57/62
its like a routine: you check your
emails and you check your Facebook.
You get distracted for about an hour and then you start doing your work. But you
always leave Facebook on in the corner
just in case someone might want to get
in contact with you. (Roz)
its like a routine

The year reps, we've created a separate
section where we update them about
things that are going on in terms of theyear rep meetings, any messages from
the lecturers. [] So, we organise the
meetings, we organised a party before
Christmas through that. (Sarah)
