Twitter

It's all fun until you have to put your amazing thought into 140 character. I always feel like I can't effectively get my point across in just 140 character. But I do it anyways. When twitter launched in 2006, it wasn't as exciting as it is today. In 2006, you cannot share pictures or videos on twitter, it was only texts. I personally did find it very easy to use. I guess that is why people in counties such as Brazil still visit Facebook more than twitter, they probably don't know about the new twitter or how improved it is.

Twitter current have 284 million active users and gets 340 million tweets per day. Twitter is widely used today because of the fact that you can do so many things on it now. For instance, local, business and world news, as broadcasting companies can now link their websites in their posts. The 140 character is also a great feature because every post tend to be simple and short on twitter.

The hashtag feature is also great because it allows user to narrow down their interest and they don't have to read unnecessary post that they are not interested in, which calls for less scrolling as oppose to Facebook. It is less time consuming, compact, and can be used for many productive things such as sharing business card, finding jobs, interacting with other users, sharing music and videos.
