Proclaimed as the hottest company since Google and Facebook, Twitter introduced a revolutionary micro-blogging service in 2006 that allowed users to spread and share short messages of 140 characters (“tweets”) with friends and strangers subscribing to follow their communication flow (as so called “followers”) in order to find out what is happening right now from any point of the globe.

Twitter creates a positive impact through simple connection; this connection calls up raw emotion, enables people to keep in constant communication with friends and colleagues across the world, and constantly updates people with news from everywhere on the globe just as it is happening. “Twitter is my lifeline to the world.” Twitter enables Eltahawy to stay updated on news as it breaks, keeping her on top of every story and in constant communication by

Twitter is a social networking site that allows users to become “followers” of other people and stay informed about current events and social trends. Many argue whether or not these social websites such as Twitter, are good for society. In two articles about Twitter, the authors present different arguments about why Twitter is good or bad for society. The author of “Heading off disaster, one Tweet at a time” by Jim Spellman, states that Twitter is a good way of communicating current events happening around the world. The other article, “Is Twitter Bad for National Security?” by Tony Bradley, argues that Twitter could have dangerous effects on our nation’s

This is where the freedom of speech the internet allows comes into full practise, the abundant unregulated content of the internet as no limit. The internet has evolved to give people this sense of freedom, which inevitably results in abuse.. This is perfectly explained by David Gauntlett’s Web 2.0 theory. Web 2.0 has enabled all kinds of people to be creative, to share the things they've made, and to collaborate with others. Gauntlett argued that Web 2.0 as allowed us to become our own producers and create our own identities and even influence other people just as celebrities do. A great example of this is the story of Justin Beiber, a now worldwide superstar followed by many, started by using the web 2.0 to the fullest by regularly posting creative videos of himself on YouTube, another powerful mass media median. The freedom allowed by web 2.0 allowed him to reach an audience without strong support from television and radio. This lifted him to superstar status. Take for example the twitter accounts of such a celebrity like Justin Beiber, who is effortlessly portraying a persona of a super loved mega star on twitter by having over 37 million followers, however new research claims out of his 37.3 million followers, only 17.8 million are linked to real accounts. The website Socialbakers found 47% of the singer's followers on Twitter were genuine fans.

In less than two decades, social media has revolutionized modern communication and information sharing.

Walk into a library, you have a computer, you are most likely carrying a phone, at home, you most likely have a computer, laptop, tablet, or even all three. This shows that we have social media access at the tip of our fingers, making it so easy to open up the site or app and just type out a phrase or paragraph, letting hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions, of people know what you think. Back then, it was harder to let the nation know what you were thinking, and it took even take months before everyone knew, versus today, where the nation might know by the end of the day, and it’s because of this that companies regulate what their users are posting, attempting at keeping the online world free from threats, hate, harmful words, and more. Rutenberg quotes Jeffrey Goldberg as he says, “At a certain point I’d rather take myself off the platform where speech has become so become so offensive than advocate for the suppression of that speech” (2). Twitter also said that “everyone on Twitter should feel safe expressing diverse opinions and beliefs, but behavior that harasses, intimidates or uses fear to silence another person’s voice should have no place on our platform” (Rutenberg 2).
