Unit 3 Posting

One of the greatest advantages of using a microblog is the audience that they can reach. Twitter is arguably the 11^th largest site with over 180 million unique visitors a month (Schonfeld, 2010). With that large of an audience you can ensure that your information is reaching the maximum number of people possible. The same goes for Facebook, you have the ability to reach a large audience. To me, one disadvantage of microblogs is that anyone can put out information without filters or checks of verification. My first experience with microblogging is with the Homemade Baby Food Microblog for this site on Facebook. I hope to continue to gain more knowledge about microblogging and welcome your comments and suggestions.
