The World of Twitter

I have to admit that when twitter first became popular, I wasn't at all interested in creating an account.  I asked those who were apart of the popular site, "Why do you care what what people are doing?" I just didn't understand the point of always seeing what others were doing and for everyone to see what your always doing as well.

Fast forward to a few years later and I tweet almost once or a few times a day. When I decided to join Twitter, I looked at it from a networking aspect. Being a broadcast communications major I felt that it was important for me too be a part of social networking and to know whats going on in my community and the world. Plus it was also fun and entertaining to be apart of.

Over the past few years I've seen Twitter grow tremendously. A site that was first created in 2006 to keep people updated with daily instant status posts, is now one of the number one news sources. People now use twitter for news updates, entertainment, and keeping up to date with world leaders and their favorite celebrities. Twitter has definitely created a new way to seek news, and allow people across the world to connect with the tap of an icon.

I love to use twitter for news, trending topics, and daily inspiration. Some of the profiles I follow are CNN, and also my schools official page for up to the date news and information about campus news and events. I also follow Joel Osteen, and Iyanla Vanzant for inspiration and daily advice. I like for my timeline to be filled with useful information and positivity.

Twitter, just like any other social media outlet can very useful and helpful if used the correct way. If you love to network, express your opinion, and stay up to date on news, then I say give Twitter a try.
