Using twitter in class has enhanced my learning in EIR, when searching for my topic(Discuss the role of design in the global go green movement) on twitter it did not generate anything useful as not many people twit about that topic.
However blogs are so much more useful, huge organisations like Google has their own blog talking about the global go green movement they participate and even try encourage us to join them. Example Earth Hour 2010. Google alone joined many events that people all over the world are involved too. Twitter is more for everyone to see while blogs are more personal and talks about themselves only. Therefore if a blog have alot of followers we can conclude that the blog is credible. But for twitter, its easy to have tons of followers who just follow for the fun of it. In my opinion, I prefer blogger than twitter. Emotions can also be felt more when typed on blog than twitter, as short twits by people cannot amplify their feelings.
Professionals may also have blogs and talk about specialise topics. We can get informations from there as long as we can confirm they are from some trusted organisation or hospital if you are finding infromation on medical stuff. For twitter, we can use it for research purpose too, followers may reply to what u ask however we must check whether it can be trusted or not.
In conclusion, I think blogger is better than twitter as blogger can increase my knowledge better and let me know more about what i want to find out and reading people's reflection will also let me understand what problems they are facing.
