Twitter users are sending 50 million tweets a day according to Wikipedia.com. The above article basically deals with how Twitter has improved marketing for businesses and upcoming artists. Twitter has the ability to enable people to share information instantaneously across the globe and to post comments with personal views on any topic. The opportunities are endless for ordinary people, businesses and celebrities to promote themselves on Twitter. Twitter has definitely become a very popular site. The fact you can simply type a tweet and transmit the information with a single click is one of the main reasons why businesses thrive on this site. Their adverts and announcements are made public within seconds. In the Twitter world one can select a topic of interest and follow the tweets posted from anywhere in the world.
In my opinion, Twitter is very influential. I am not a tweeter myself, but it seems a lot of programmes and people use it, even politicians. People tweet news updates into Sky News and they are read out on air. Ordinary people can give eyewitness accounts of news as it breaks. This was particularly evident during the Summer revolutions in the Middle East as Sky and BBC news used locals to describe events on the ground as it was too dangerous for their correspondents to be in the midst of the violence. If one has the Twitter app on their phone they can read and post Tweets on the go. To tweet is not just a young person’s novelty or a passing fad; it is has become a worldwide phenomenon which is here to stay. Without doubt Twitter is a valuable communication device available and free to all.
