Looking at the two of these twitter profiles, and knowing their names I know a little about them. They visually are very similar, their backgrounds have the same premise of a sky and a plant of sorts, though in different seasons. Their icons are vastly different though, one a cartoon figure and the other what I can assume is a family photo. From these I think Kristin is a little more fun-loving while Jenny is more centered around family. Their profile descriptions (Linguistic Mode) both give me different feelings. Kristin's is joking, using short chopped sentences while Jenny's flows and seems well thought-out. The differences in the content and sentence structure makes me think one is more serious while the other is silly.
As they are both professionals, I imagine they don't go bragging about wild parties on their twitters, I imagine they use their twitters as a way to talk to students a little more casually, looking at a recent tweet from Kristin she mentions her students.
I have a twitter, but I do not actively use it. The background is of a drawing I made, and my icon is from a ARG(Alternate Reality Game), I think this one is from Marble hornets. I tried to
use my twitter as a way to interact with these, and keep up with them. As I went into college I used it to keep up with school, and try to socialize though it.
The first of my two Additional twitter profiles is that of Weird Al Yankovic's, a popular comedy artist who's known for his parodies. From the description, to the silly face of the background
and avatar, this profile just makes me smile.
The final twitter profile is of one of the ARG's I follow, Marble Hornets. The profile is very casual in itself, adding to the feel of this is a real thing, not some creation. If it was a creation they'd want to advertise their twitter right? Have a background of a poster or something relating to the plot of the ARG- But that's the beauty of this profile. Every single thing about this relates to Marble hornets. At least, if you know about marble hornets you'd know this. The Icon is a still frame from one of the videos, each tweet relates to the lore and the going ons of the ARG, things that you don't get to see in the videos they post. The background is one of the default twitter backgrounds- But if you know who Slender man is, and the myth's that go with it, you'll know its significance.
