Week 9: Twitter (Alternative Assignment)


Other Twitter Accounts


The accounts that are similar to the MiraCosta College's Twitter page are the other local community college in San Diego. The four that I selected are Mesa College, Grossmont College, Palomar College, and Cuyamaca College. While all four colleges tweak some their post from Facebook to match the requirements for Twitter posting, only Cuyamaca college doesn't add anything dynamic like a photo. MiraCosta College has been tweeting back and forth to the President of the college, which shows dimension and demonstrates conversation. 

Cover Photo

San Diego Mesa College: I love their cover page. It is a high-quality photo showing a diverse group of students. 

Grossmont College: They have a decent photo showing their campus. It doesn't tell a story of their student life.

Palomar College: This college shows a "P" on a hillside. It doesn't relate back to students. Maybe if you attend Palomar, you would know why, but it can be potentially confusing for other Twitter followers.

Cuyamaca College: They just have a dark blue background.

Overall, I think Mesa College have great posts with picture or graphics. I like how they are so engaging on Twitter. They focus on student life. Whereas, I would help Cuyamaca College. I would show pictures of student life on the cover photos and start using photos with a post or even adding some videos. 

Advance search

Mesa College has excellent ties to the community. Professor and local news stations are tweeting them. By using keywords like "Community College" or "Education" and segment all the four colleges, it easy to see who is initiating conversation on Twitter.
