“Twitter”

                            Twitter is a popular social network. Twitter is a form of communication and helps promote businesses. Each tweet is 140 characters long. There is about 554,750,000 users. On average there are about 58 million tweets per day. People can favorite somebodys tweet if they like the tweet or find it funny. Also they can retweet the tweet which is when you press the button and it comes up on your profile even if you didn’t write it so that other people can see the tweet. Twitter has positives and negatives for business, social, entertainment, news, and recreational.   

                The positives of twitter for businesses is that they can market themselves, also the businesses can spread around to other people easy if somebody retweets it or favorites it so, the people that follow that person that retweets it they can go and look at it and if they like it they retweets it then it spreads around the world. The positives socially of twitter are that people can interact with each other and talk about what they think of a television show or movie or sports or etc.  Also they can tweet at famous people and sometimes they will answer you.  Twitter could be fun to go on because people can be funny or follow a fake account that’s hilarious that’s always fun.  Another positive thing about twitter is news. For example if you’re on twitter and you follow ESPN they can say a trade that’s happening and the person would retweet it then people will be talking about the trade on twitter.

               The negatives of twitter for businesses is that a twitter account can get scammed very easy.  Also if the business is not very good and it gets spread around then it will be very hard to get that business booming.  Socially twitter can be a very negative thing. People can get into twitter fights, cyber bullying, and also for professional athletes if they say something wrong on twitter the whole league finds out and it goes all over ESPN.  Twitter fights happen a lot especially with teenage girls or sport rivalry's. Cyber bullying happens a lot too. People can tweet at people making fun of them or post embarrassing pictures of the person they are bullying. Even if the person getting bullied blocks the person they can still tweet about them and people will see. There is always a fight about sports rivalry's. If you live in New York its always about who's better New York Football Giants or the New York Jets, or New York Knicks or Brooklyn Nets. 


             Twitter is a great website to go on but, you have to be smart when your on it. Like don't tweet anything offensive to anybody. Even if you delete the tweet businesses and colleges can still see the tweet even if its deleted.
