I allows me to put resources and links to tutorials and you-tube. It is easy to update and change information from class to class. I do not think facebook is as user friendly for teaching.vc.cavazoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330409683655892152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30766504.post-82576019516153402162010-09-14T08:27:49.363-04:002010-09-14T08:27:49.363-04:00I am agree that student's must consider social...I am agree that student's must consider social media in the game industry. I am also a big fan of mafia wars, which is also running by Zynga, is the second most popular online game in the world. Due to these reasons Internet Marketers are also looking towards them so they can generate more revenues from there.Software Development Indiahttp://www.soniktechnologies.in/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30766504.post-53443152326561916462010-08-05T16:55:18.583-04:002010-08-05T16:55:18.583-04:00PS - Forgot to mention I am only an outsider to th...PS - Forgot to mention I am only an outsider to the industry.Adrian Lopezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856546733839775093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30766504.post-47522580071116749962010-08-05T16:52:24.409-04:002010-08-05T16:52:24.409-04:00I joined Twitter on Brenda Brathwaite's recomm...I joined Twitter on Brenda Brathwaite's recommendation to her blog readers. While I did enjoy participating in the #gamedesign channel, most of the people I followed ultimately stopped posting to #gamedesign and Twitter once again became <a href="http://bbrathwaite.wordpress.com/2009/07/16/epic-emergent-design-discussion-on-twitter/#comment-6711" rel="nofollow">the clique I thought it was</a> prior to joining.<br /><br />There's a handful of industry people who do follow me. but mostly I'm not really part of the game designer Twittersphere as anything other than a listener, which makes it a lot less attractive to me than it once was.Adrian Lopezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856546733839775093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30766504.post-18788446215580693752010-07-30T12:37:23.098-04:002010-07-30T12:37:23.098-04:00I think there's a generational thing here. I ...I think there's a generational thing here. I like Facebook, because it improves communication. I don't care for twitter (I did try it), because it encourages methods of communication that are inefficient and lend to lack of thought. The inefficiency is the real-time nature, there's just too much inaccurate or pointless or useless information on the line (too much noise). The lack of thought comes from the word-bites, twitter is naturally <br />shallow.<br /><br />And I don't feel a need for "up-to-the-minute, that's a young person's characteristic.<br /><br />Fortunately, since my students don't use it, I don't have an incentive to use it.Lewis Pulsipherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998403221823705918noreply@blogger.com
