     For my J198 Multimedia and Reporting class my professor, Jeremy Littau, assigned us a "Twitter scavenger hunt."  The scavenger hunt also took place at four different schools across the nation which definitely added another interesting component that we all enjoyed.
     I downloaded the twitter application to my cellphone so that I could take pictures on my Blackberry and upload them to my tweets on the spot which was very helpful for the assignment!  Also, I took pictures using a regular camera and uploaded them onto my computer for some of the tweets above such as my "little known fact" shot.
     One of the cooler parts of this assignment was the interaction between students from other schools.  We were given additional points for any replies or retweets with other schools and I was pleasantly surprised by how much feedback I received from them, and how interested they were in any feedback I was giving them.  This project definitely made my Twitter-capabilities that much stronger and it made me much more comfortable with replying, retweeting and sharing photos through twitter.
     Lastly, this project demonstrated how twitter can of course be used as a means of documenting one's day or even one's personal thoughts, but it can be used in other, more sophisticated ways as well that can reach a much wider audience if you want your voice to be heard!
