Twitter
Twitter is a website which you are able to update their status and see what other friends or family is currently up to in their everyday lives. Twitter has become one of the most popular social networking sites along with Facebook and MySpace. Many athletes and celebrities are on Twitter and fans are able to keep up with there lives and interests. Some of the most popular people are on twitter such as Shaq and Lance Armstrong have accounts.
Twitter can actually have many useful functions in society. Businesses can setup a page to advertise and promote their product. There are advertisements of t-shirt companies online. It can also be used to connect with friends and family. All you have to do is search the name and click and the friend and you can send messages and chat online. Talk to cousin’s in the south or friends who moved out of state that you haven’t seen in a while. This has also become a more interactive e-mail. On all these websites you can fallow bands and TV shows. If a new season of a hit show is airing it will be displayed on Facebook. This makes it so much easier to create a fan base and get your music out to the world. There are so many songs on iTunes that there is no way to just stubble upon a new artist. If you here a song on Facebook you will get the band’s name and search them. In the past all new was written in the newspaper which means you weren’t able to access it until the fallowing day. Big events took hours to write stories, edit them, publish the stories, and ship them to the public. Now you are only a click away from all of that information. That has only been occurring for about 20 years. Now you no what happens all over the world. You can also advertise sports or games that you can play or go to and watch. These events are posted as “events”. If were not too careful however evil people may use information, that if a friend had would be harmless, but with a little research can cripple your personal freedoms.
I used www.google.com and www.wikipedia.com for some of my research.
