Twitter






Twitter was created at first for a company so they can communicate between themselves and there buyers. It was a way to stay in touch with people all over the world. This website later blew up and became a huge deal when Obama and other big time celebrities started talking about it. People use to just email or call and one of there first words would be what’s up. Now it is used to help people stay connected in between the time they see each other or talk to each other. Most of twitter is pointless. People put up a variety of useless information. Like the following percents of what is actually posted on twitter. Pointless babble– 41%, Conversational – 38%, Pass-along value – 9%, Self-promotion – 6%, Spam– 4% and News – 4%.

This is kind of scary to see how a website that was made to stay in touch has become just a bunch of pointless information. I feel like this can also become a dangerous website. People will know exactly what you are doing at all times. I feel like it is an easy way to get stalked. Like when you say I am going to the mall a person can figure out where you are going.
This website is used in different ways. It can be used for businesses, social, entertainment, news, and recreational. Businesses use this website to advertise and stay connected to there employees and there other business people. It is used so those people can see what you are doing in between the emails and phone calls. They can also see what common interests you might have with them. Twitter can be used for social purposes to stay connected to family and friends. The social uses for it go hand in hand with the recreational uses. Twitter is also used to tell the news. The news can put out feed that tell you the main head lines. Same way it is used by the entertainment industry. They can put up events and fundraisers and what they are up to. It’s a way to keep in touch with there fans and stay connected to what else is going on with other people.
