You will create a Twitter account for the entity you selected to work with this semester – it could be yourself, an organization, or a business. The user name should match what you created in that Learning Module.

As an option, if you the Twitter account is for a business or organization and you want to keep it pure (in terms of content), you may wish to create a second Twitter account for yourself.

Assignment Specifications:

2. The Twitter account(s) should include at least two Twitter Lists that are publicly accessible. You should create the Twitter List on your account. (1-point)
3. The Twitter account(s) should include at least 3 tweets, one of which must include the #mat149 hashtag. (2-point)

Write a blog post on how you will use Twitter, identify any limitations or strengths. Include a link to your Twitter account(s) in the blog post. The blog post does not count toward the five points but can but used for the Posting and Commenting assignment.
