Twitter is one of the biggest most hip websites out there
and takes social media to a whole new level. On the “Twitter-sphere” you can be
following what Kim Kardashian is doing in Ireland this week, and what your neighbors
opinions are on the MTV Movie awards all at the same time. Twitter is a good
way to communicate to large amounts of people about important issues in the
world and get many opinions, and other peoples thoughts on the topic. However,
people don’t always use their 140 characters for good. More often than not, my
twitter timeline will be filled with song lyrics and @BadLuckBrian jokes.
Twitter has the potential and is sometimes extremely useful for spreading news
really quickly and getting it to reach a lot of the younger generation, but
mostly people tweet about movies and make witty/funny comments in hopes of
upping their followers. Among all the jokes I think there’s hope for twitter to
grow and become more of a place to share news stories and spread opinions and
ideas. But for now, it’s a little bit of that and a lot of jokes, pointless
hashtags, and privileged teenagers complaining about their #firstworldprobs.
