Twitter discussion are more simple and straight to the point compared with Blackboard discussion. A tweet only consist of 140 characters so the person tweeting would have to limit their discussion whereas in Blackboard discussion the person can elaborate as much as possible. By using hashtag we can group a twitter discussion to certain viewers(like we did for homework). Blackboard you would have to click on everyone's post and manual reply.
In class discussions are better than Twitter discussions because you know who is talking in your group of classmate and the responses should be faster than Twitter discussions. There can be a tweet from a while back and you can retweet the tweet days or months later replying.
