Taking a Look at Twitter

Social networking sites such as Twitter has made a tremendous change, in the aspects of how people network and communicate with each other over the past couple of years. Remarkably, Twitter was created in March 2006. By February 2010, the hype of this self-styled “New Twitter Experience,” Twitter users were sending out over 50 million tweets per day. In Peggy Orenstein’s article “I Tweet, Therefore I Am,” she exploits the argument that people should tweet for themselves, and not for the pleasing of their followers. Even though, since the article was featured in the The New Your Times. The relevance of this article was intended to be read by the readers of The Times, which most of them were businessmen and politicians between ages of 30-35. Nevertheless, this article was written on July 30th 2010, printed, and published in the book, The

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.

The main reasons for the use of twitter are that you able to “follow” interesting people, follow trends, good for promoting brands/companies, plenty of celebrity access, and “to the point tweets” as you are limited to type less than 140 characters and finally, a good source for breaking

Moving forward, social media has been a major convenience and reward to virtually everyone. On an individual basis, social media allows friends and family both near and far to communicate with one another. Also, businesses are flourishing through the use of social media. Advertising has never been easier. Horn (2013) states, “Our profession, unlike any time before, is demanding we become social media (…) experts” (1). Horn (2013) also states, “More than half of reporters (55 percent) use Twitter and Facebook to source stories” (1). Social media has greatly benefited business life and personal life.

Twitter is one of the most popular social media outlets in the world, having the ability to connect people from all over the world. Though the platform may have its perks, problems such as being limited to using very few characters, being fooled by fraudulent users, and being a detriment to your future career are all risks that one must choose to take. While Twitter may offers many benefits, one must realize all of the consequences that they may be faced with when joining the social media

Donald Trump currently has 25.5 millions followers out of the 318.9 million people in the United States. In one of his latest tweets he states, “The White House is running very well. I inherited a mess and am in the process of fixing it” (Trump Twitter).

With social media, such as “Twitter” or “Instagram,” it keeps everyone informed and help them stay up to date with the events in the world they are living in. Some might suggest that we have other ways of keeping up to date, newspapers for example, but by the time the paper arrives at your doorsteps, the news is already dated. As Carr has mentioned “ The Net provides a high-speed system for delivering responses and rewards.” It keeps you informed with events that are currently happening at that exact moment. Looking up information is easier and more convenient as well.

One of the advantages of twitter is a very simple and educational social network. This allows to be aware of everything that interests you, such as communities, celebrities, or just people who are not famous, but they write very interesting things.

Communicating graphical messages among humans has had many forms over the centuries, from cave painting, clay tables, art, manuscripts, books and newspapers to name a few. Now in the information age humans have continued to evolve to convey messages using the internet via blogging, social networks and internet articles. From tweets, Facebook post, and emoji’s, humans continue to develop and adopt shorter ways to communicate and express their thoughts with each other. Consequently, now in the 21st century social platforms are also changing the landscape of journalism, challenging news outlets to transform their ways and making news reports available quickly. Journalist are held to a higher standard and are expected to diligence when reporting the news, they are expected to deliver reliable, responsible journalism, but in this ever changing fast pace world is Twitter the best mechanism for responsible journalist, especially when they only have 140 characters to inform the reader with the latest news?

The author Peggy Orenstein wrote the article, “I Tweet, Therefore I Am” in the New York Times Magazine to claim that people tweet for themselves because social media is important to them. It describes how people care about their own posts on twitter. Peggy Orenstein uses examples and creates an appeal to ethos, pathos, and logos to convince people that social media is important to us. She adds how anyone tries to post a tweet that is interesting enough to talk about on their page.

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.

The top ten most followed twitter users are not media organizations or corporations, but individuals. Researchers and Cornell and Yahoo analyzed how information spreads from media to the masses. They found that a new class of semi-public individuals consisting of authors, bloggers, journalists, and subject matter experts have become part of an important niche on twitter. Opinion-leaders are more exposed to the media than their followers and are part of the intermediate layer. Around half of the information originating from the media passes to the masses indirectly through the opinion leaders (Wu, Mason, Hofman, & Watts, 2011).

Moreover, celebrities can now also keep in touch and communicate with their fans or other celebrities through social network sites. Social media is one of the biggest and fastest way for celebrities to widen their fan base, and it is also a way through which fans could "talk" with their favorite celebrities in a relatively safe, public environment such as Twitter, Instagram or Facebook (Social Media Today, "How Celebrities Use Social Media to Build Their Brand", June 2013). Social Media, basically, has made it possible for fans to strengthen their bonds with their favorite celebrities, and also made it possible for people to keep in touch with their favorite brands or business people, and to know what is new and upcoming.
