It was only a matter of time before it had to happen, or at least begin happening. Australia’s Griffith University thinks its quite important to have Twitter as part of its curriculum for journalism. We have seen the importance of Twitter when it comes to breaking news, we saw it with the Earthquakes and the Elections, when everything else couldn’t provide us with information. This isn’t just Twitter, there has been a growing emphasis on the need for prospective employees to be well versed with Social Media, which shows that it is no more just about connecting with people but also about sharing information and news globally. I am happy to read this, primarily because i emphasis a lot on making more out of Twitter than just tweeting.
