After doing this Twitter assignment, it has kind of opened my eyes into the world of Twitter. I have had my own personal account for over a year now, and I’m still only the type of guy who uses it mainly to follow people I find interesting. Now, I still tweet the occasional tweet throughout the day, but mainly I want to know what other people are doing. That’s really what I like best about Twitter, it allows you to feel more connected into peoples’ lives. When us normal people get let into the personal lives of celebrities, or into the business doings of major corporations, we feel closer to those people.
I found it interesting though how different people tended to tweet though. As expected, media and profesional groups tended to tweet very professionally and only information. However, as the type of news group got more popular, they often times inserted humor into their tweets. I noticed this mainly from Fox News, CNN, and from ESPN. It is somewhat refreshing I will admit to have humorous tweets from what seems to be such serious information sources. I think the reasoning behind doing this is to keep their followers interested. If there’s some humor in their feed, then they would be more inclined to keep following them.
Overall, I am man of enough to admit that at first I was completely against Twitter, but after my time of using one I am a fan. There are just too many people and interesting handles to follow that can enlighten you day. Sadly, right now I am without cable and I get the majority of my news from Twitter and whatever else I see online. Often times, what I see on Twitter makes me want to go online and see what is going on.
Thanks Twitter,
