I do not think that writing electronically changes compared to when I write on pen and paper. Years ago when I would use AIM I would use all of the acronyms like "lol" and "jk" ect. But because of my horrible writing that I had in high school I have found that it only makes writing worse. So now when I write on Facebook, Twitter or even text messaging I try my best to use full words, and to try to use correct grammar punctuation. I have found out that it will only help you out in the long run.

Writing Electronically.
I have never used online blogging, although my friends have and I have helped them come up with ideas to post. Other than online blogging I do have many experiences with writing electronically. I recently got a twitter account I use it almost regularly and post things on there via texting. I also use facebook more than any human being should. I have mobile facebook, I use my computer for facebook, and I also receive text messages for things that have been posted to my facebook wall or if someone has sent me a message. I find it to be a very good way to communicate with others, although it has its disadvantages. To use writing electronically is not a good way to sense reaction or tone of the voice. Generally talking on the phone or face-to-face is more appropriate for that matter.

Interesting that you try to avoid netspeak and abbreviated words - you're definitely in the minority there.
ReplyDeleteThe interpersonal (or lack thereof) aspects of Facebook are receving a lot of attention these days - we'll be touching on those issues in class.
