Twitter

What is Twitter? Well, before enrolling in this class I never heard of Twitter. However, it seems pretty interesting because their are alot of people who have Twitter accounts. Twitter is a great deal of things based on my research. Twitter is social messaging, news reporting, and media marketing.Twitter is being used to keep up with people or get in touch with people. It could be on the job or for just socializing with friends. It is appears to be a good way to communicate via the Internet and people have truly taken advantage of it. Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace, seem to be the most popular ways to communicate on line. I also recognized that during the inauguration, the news reporters on CNN kept mentioning their Twitter pages. They wanted people to log on and post comments about the inauguration. I was kind of excited about it because I knew it was something that I was learning about in class. This was a unique way of keeping up with what people were thinking about the inauguration and a historical moment in history. Furthermore, people were able to post what they thought about the CNN broadcast. The news anchors were constantly talking about the comments people were posting. The media marketing aspect of Twitter is also very interesting. During the Presidential campaign the Internet was used alot by President Obama's campaign. This was the first time in the history of the Presidential campaign that the Internet was so widely used. I think this one of the advantages for President Obama. This gave him an advantage over Senator McCain because President Obama was able to reach more people through the Internet. Twitter is a wonderful way to keep people informed or for just socializing. I think that my objective will probably be socializing, which is fun!
