In the beginning

Hello Internet!
My name is Paul Hobday. I'm a Burlington College student from right here in Vermont, studying writing and literature. My professional aspirations all fall into the realm of writing and communication, particularly in the areas of journalism and essay writing.
I'm not an avid social media user, though i have had a Facebook account for almost a year and I do get good use out of the site, both for staying in touch with friends and family as well as staying abreast of current events and local happenings. My newest interest in social media is Twitter. I'm generally a little behind the times when it comes to trendy new social media tools, but now that I have discovered Twitter, I'm quickly becoming an addict.  Something about seeing new posts appear like magic, POOF! and suddenly I have a new piece of information, a new link to follow.


What has surprised and pleased me the most about Twitter is the lack of garbage I find myself sifting through to get at the good content. Posts are short, sweet, lacking in annoying adverts and usually are accompanied by a link with greater depth on the subject.
