Twitter? Blackboard? In-class discussions?
Of course there are both similarities and differences. With twitter, you can identify your friends/classmates by the username they chose for themselves. With blackboard and even in-class discussions you can identify each other by first names. Both call for communication between two or more people and the ability to share your opinions. With in-class discussions, there isn't really a limit to how many "characters" you can say. This differs from twitter and blackboard discussion where there is indeed a "character" limit.
With in-class discussions, you can't "go back" to someone's response (unless you ask them to repeat it if they even remember what they just said). One great thing about the online discussions (Twitter and Blackboard) is that you can do this... And quite easily!
Are you shy in person? Well then what easier way to say what you want then to type it! No verbal communication necessary (Phew!)
There are definitely more things you could easily list about this topic, but I just thought I'd share a few that popped into my head :)
