The Powerful Force of Twitter

Williams, Evan (2009). The voices of Twitter users [Video file]. Retrieved from

Twitter originated as a side project on a simple concept: say what you are doing in 140 characters or less. Since then, this social media has exploded into sharing life’s moments (both good and bad), keeping loved ones posted in times of disaster, helping businesses grow, political discussions, fundraising, and virtually any topic that comes to the imagination. The purpose of Twitter is to create easier ways to share information, which has catapulted this social media platform into the juggernaut that it is today.

Many schools these days have Facebook pages, as well as Twitter handles. The purpose of Twitter can be to keep parents and families updated quickly and efficiently as to what is happening in their school. It is a way to have the community stay informed by increasing communication.
