Twitter and the Protest
Today I used Twitter to update and to understand what was going on at the Wheeler Hall Barricade Strike. I finally understood what the fuss is over twitter! It was a great way to disseminate information and be able to follow others who were also spreading information. I was able to understand what was happening because of people who were able to tweet within Wheeler Hall as well as people who were close to the information. I was able to understand what people wanted us to do even when the megaphones sucked and I wan't able to hear what the speakers were saying. I was able to read about what happened on different parts of the barricades when things go rough. All of these were important in giving me an accurate portrait of the protest even when the word on the ground was inaccurate.
