Choose a sample of your own informal writing from a social networking site to reflect on: a status update, text message, or tweet, for example. Why did you write the post? What did you assume about your readers, and why? Why did you choose the words, images, links, or other parts of the text, and how do these choices contribute to the way the writing comes across to an audience? Does the writing do what you want it to do? Why, or why not?
