This project documents students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who are self-declared Twitter users. It is a discussion of how Twitter effects communication through a series of questions. This project reviews why participants got a Twitter account, how they use Twitter, how they think communication on Twitter and Facebook are similar and different. It also explains and provides examples of various Twitter applications: "hashtags," "retweets," and "at" functions. Also addresses feelings toward anti-Twitter sentiments they hear from others.
