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

“‘Tweet. Tweedle-lee-Dee’ (118 Character Left),” by Olivia Fletcher writes from the definition pattern of development. Fletcher’s thesis was, “Since those days, the tweet has morphed into a word whose meaning your great grandfather could have never imagined when he was listening to Day’s hit on Billboard’s Hot 100.” The author organizes her content into different segments; first she explains the history of the new definition of a tweet and she also compares Twitter and Facebook. Her next two paragraphs summarize the negative effects of tweeting, and these paragraphs also include a precis of a “Twitter war” between John Mayer and Perez Hilton. The last two paragraphs in the body discuss the positive effects of tweeting in schools. In the final

Retweet Rank is a simple influence measurement tool on Twitter, which allows users to track their ranks and retweets. By October 6, 2013, Wegmans’ retweet rank is 111, 812, with an approximate of 98.05 percentile. Percentile score indicates how users score relative to other twitter users, which ranges from 1 to 100. Wegmans got 98.05, which shows that it is quite interactive with its followers on Twitter.

These assumptions raised many questions to research as well. Moody, Cohen, and Fournon (2013) raised the first question of “What types of messages did candidates disseminate utilizing tweets during the 2011-12 Presidential Primaries” (p. 3). The next question brought up by Moody, Cohen, and Fournon (2013) was, “Were runner-up candidates more likely than front-runners to include a negative tone in their tweets” (p. 3). Then the third question stated by Moody, Cohen and Fournon (2013) was, “Were runner-up candidates more likely than front-runners to attack their opponents in their tweets” (p. 3) Finally, the fourth and final question raised by Moody, Cohen, and Fournon (2013) stated, “What interactive units did politicians use within their tweets. To what type of content did they link? What was the tone of candidate hashtags” (p. 3).

The social media strategies of the Boston, Washington, D.C., and Toronto Police Departments were studied using a qualitative empirical analysis, and in all cases, social media was found to increase transparency and improve collaboration (Meijer & Thaens, 2013).

A 2017 study conducted by Dr. Rene D. Flores, assistant professor at the University of Washington, found that SB 1070 had a negative impact on the average sentiment of tweets regarding immigrants, Mexicans, and Hispanics. Dr. Flores analyzed the content of over 250,000 tweets regarding SB 1070 that were posted in the three-month time period after the bill was approved in April 2010. The study aimed to determine how much impact the passage of SB1070 had on the public discourse on immigration. Dr. Flores found that messages regarding Mexican immigrants became increasingly negative after the law was passed. Twitter is an extremely popular social media site and it has become a platform through which we can gage public opinion at any point. People who were sharing their opinions were influenced by media they consumed during this short time after the approval.

Another aspect that needed closer attention after the attack was the channel of communication when the disaster happened. There needed to be a reliable channel that wouldn’t be affected by the failure of the corporate system. Over the years, social media usage as a communication channel has come in handy. It has been used to create a strong collaboration between corporate to client and corporate to corporate for communication purposes. Various corporations can communicate the progress of the data recovery efforts to both their workers and clients. For example most clients would get depressed by failure of a system that manages their data, hence, an assurance of data safety would calm their anxiety in the wake of the disaster. Facebook, Twitter and Linked In are the widely used social media channels for communication because of their robustness, ubiquity and they are free to use.

Twitter is used for staying connected with followers and promoting products, news, and corporate blog posts. They also use it to share content. One use of twitter is to share the current news in the industry. Along with this, they also post news that links users who click on it back to their website and to their blog. Pepperl+Fuchs uses their blog on their website as their main source of promoting products and dealing with customers. Another use for twitter is linking them with their partnering companies and helping promote them as well. For example, one tweet was, “Intertek collaborates with Pepperl+Fuchs on first hazardous locations panel shop project.” This linked users to a page on the Internet that talked about the partnership created and the project that was on hand. This example also ties into the idea of Pepperl+Fuchs using Twitter to share news. Overall, they use twitter to welcome new followers and create a community to share ideas and news about Pepperl+Fuchs, but their tweets mainly consists with links that take the user back to their blog or to articles on their

It began as “a system where you could send a text to one number and it would be broadcasted out to all of your friends…” Then five months after Twitter’s launch, an earthquake in San Francisco happened- except this earthquake had people who were experiencing it using Twitter to share their stories, which led to another group of people who heard about the earthquake using Twitter to get information from a place they were not in. These were not the only groups of people using Twitter during the earthquake, but they are the best example of interpretative flexibility. Two groups of people both using the same app, but for one group it’s a means of sharing information and for another it was about collecting that information—and that right there was the basis of Twitter. Closure took hold for a while because even though the app was still used to communicate with friends, it became more of an information sharing platform than it used to be. Then, more groups joined and the use of Twitter changed again. The rise of social media created a new way to interact and soon led groups of investors, celebrities, politicians, scientists, and even soccer moms to use the site to network, advertise products, educate themselves, and start important conversations. Twitter was no longer just a place to trade information, it became a business. And as newer generations of people begin to download Twitter, it will change again. Currently, the majority of Twitter users are shaping this application by using it as a political platform to share, stop, and acknowledge injustice. Yet, just a year ago, it was more often than not a place where people got their first reports of natural disasters, sport scores, celebrity deaths, and spoilers of popular television shows. It was not a place where you would see people from all types of different groups fired up over politics and state of the world in the extent as it seen today. And yes, Twitter

Any conflict exemplified within the media tends to have an impact of society. Whether it be an article or news story that affects someone’s political views, or a social media post that may change someone’s communal views. A small faction of people pushing to express a specific belief can go a long way, especially when utilizing the various number of media outlets the world possesses at its fingertips. So, what exactly did the social media users of this time have to say about the election? Donald trump is known for his constant appearance in the media for saying, or doing something that results in controversy. In the article, “Donald Trump BLASTS ‘“Black Lives Matter”’ Movement in a MAJOR WAY! BOOM” Kosar discusses Donald Trump’s reaction to Black Lives Matter movement protestors arriving to his rally. During the speech he was originally giving at his rally, he patronized fellow candidate, Bernie Sanders for allowing protesters to shut down his rally in Seattle Washington. He also went on to say that he would allow his supporters to fight for him if Black Lives Matter. If this does not sound like a bad candidate for presidency, then what is? His impulse reactions to conflicts serve as a bad character trait for a President to posses. The article also shows the protesters’ reaction to Donald Trump’s discourteous remarks. Twitter users took to the social media platform to notify the Black Lives Matter movement that Donald Trump is taking them lightly, and that they need to show

A statistical validation process is performed to check whether non-related movie tweets are included in the results of the parsing process or not. The validation process is taken into account in step 1.2 of the methodology. Sample tweets are selected with the margin of error (5%) and confidence level (95%) to determine the proper sample size for the population (the raw data). The result of validation process, 89.22 percent tweets are confirmed as related the movies. Entire results of the validation process in the case study are illustrated on Table

To the average technologically advanced American, Twitter is one of the most visited social media sites. From a popularity contest standpoint, Twitter would be amongst the top winners; however, when evaluating Twitter from a business analytical aspect it might not be a lucrative business venture. The attractive attribute to Twitter Inc. is the fact the sites does not make any of its users pay. Twitter is designed to allow users to voice multiple thoughts, ideas, or share different information amongst the site’s visitor. Unlike Facebook, Twitters does not have multi-million dollar corporations using the site on a regular basis to market more potential users. Therefore, with a low revenue base and poor strategic development implementation

The world has never before been connected as much as it is today. One’s ability to communicate through various mediums is rapidly advancing, and this is much thanks to social media.
