In Twitter, discussions are happening all the time because they can happen instantly, by simply replying to a tweet. Replying to another tweet, is one of the easiest ways to join in on a conversation/discussion as it's happening. Twitter allows its users to discover topics regarding the biggest news, this can happen because you're either following people or companies that post content you're interested in or things your friends post. Tweets can be up to 280 character long and within the tweet you can provide links or photos to back up your tweets as well. After you tweet, it's out there for the world to see and reply to it, if they like. It's the fastest way to communicate with everyone at the same time. It's also the fastest way to get notified about the things that are happening around the world. Compared to Twitter discussions, blackboard discussion can contain one or more forums. It's a discussion board where a topic is discussed among college students, depending on weekly assignments assigned to students. Students can agree or disagree with one another via blackboard discussion without the concern of being limited to the 280 character. Blackboard discussions is a way to encourage students to think critically about a certain topic and on the structure of their discussion.
