Thoughts on Class 2/17

So far I have found MBA 554 to be very interesting. I enjoyed learning about all the new technologies in the WEF 2008 and 2009 readings. Personally I have found Twitter to be very useless, although I can appreciate why some people would use it. For my purposes (which do not include marketing, selling, or advertising anything), it doesn't provide a service that text messaging, Facebook, or Myspace doesn't already provide. While it might be nice to provide people with your status updates, Myspace and Facebook already do that while offering other features that are not available through Twitter. While you cannot update Myspace through SMS messaging, Myspace Mobile is very user-friendly and works well on multiple phones and operating systems. I have found services like Mint.com to be very useful, and I have yet to have any major issues with it.
As for the actual class (specific technologies aside) I enjoy the non-rigid structure and flow of the class. I don't even mind the Wharton book too much, but only when it is in small doses at a time (1 -2 chapters).
