The big difference between Twitter and Discussion on BlackBoard is the limitation of words. On Twitter, you have 140 character limits when writing a post. On the other hand, you do not have a character limit on BlackBoard. BlackBoard Discussion allows more freedom with writing.

However, on BlackBoard Discussion, you cannot hashtag or retweet what the others have written. BlackBoard is more indirect networking among people. And, on BlackBoard Discussion, you have to click each one's post, read and comment. Whereas, on Twitter, you can directly see the posts from people whom you follow, on your page and retweet or respond.

Another difference is that on Twitter, you can see other people's posts other than the ones of your classmates. You can get an access to look at some popular celebrities, politicians and other public figures.
