Research Poster Review

Well yesterday was my day to present my research poster. It was actually fun! I enjoyed explaining my topic (3D TV) to people. I really am excited about that technology and although I won't be getting a 3D TV for several years down the road, I know that I will someday.

Overall I thought this was a very creative and fun experience, while at the same time it was a great way to learn not only about my choice of a new technology but other people's choices as well. From Google Wave to Google Buzz to the IPad, I picked up a lot of interesting facts and tidbits during this whole thing.

Incorporating Twitter into the project was also a cool thing. I have been using Twitter for well over a year. I have almost 2400 tweets! So I was very happy when I heard we would be using it. I believe Twitter is fantastic. I know some people don't "get it" but I totally do.

I love the microblogging that Twitter allows you to do. A few tweets here and there throughout the day and it becomes a great little journal. And that's just the start. I love the ability to follow stars of both movies and sports, politics and music. And I can get all their news at one time, even talk to them. I've gotten tweets from over a dozen celebrities and stars of my favorite sports teams and it is a great feeling. I also love how you can get up to the second news from the trending topics. Twitter is fantastic and I was glad it was a part of this project.
