How Twitter is Changing the World

6 years ago if something happened in the news you would turn on the tv or read on numerous websites about the situation from multiple sources. Nowadays if anything happens you can type in the relative keyword to twitter and all the information will be there, in one feed, at the same time for you to read. Twitter has changed the way we receive information every day. We can now follow anyone we want and hear what they have to say. We can follow celebrities, politicians, musicians writers, comedians, and follow their updates as they tweet news, shows, jokes, thoughts, and anything else. I personally dont use twitter for tweeting but I use it as a news source because I know what I will be given all the information, all sides of the story from multiple sources on one feed. It is instant information to your computer or phone and it is incredible. Never in history where we able to receive information this fast from as many sources. We share news, photos, music, jokes, and general thoughts on twitter for the world to hear and to respond back with their comments and thoughts. It doesn't matter who you are, or where you work, or how much money you make, or where you live, your voice will always be heard on Twitter. Twitter is one of the most revolutionary creations in recent history and it will only get better from here.

Benefits of Blogging

One of the questions we were discussing in class was the benefits of blogging for companies. Companies who blog are able to communicate with their customers directly though the internet. Blogging is an amazing marketing tool that allows companies to post about their products, updates, and any news about the company that they would like to share with the general public. If they release a product page they can see how many people viewed it and based on that help forecast sales figures on the item. Companies utilize blogging to get their word out quickly to their fans and followers and it is quite effective.

An example of a great businessman getting his word out via blogging.

Blogging is also beneficial for individual bloggers. Anyone online can start a blog and blog about anything they want and if their content is good enough and wanted they will be able to reach a large audience and monetize with the use of advertising of their page. Bloggers may want to review products, movies, music, post short stories, poems, or anything they want. If a college students blogs and his colleagues read the posts the blog may become widespread and his ideas will be shared throughout the internet.

The beauty of blogging is that regardless if you are a company, or an individual  a blog allows you to get your ideas out and communicate with others online.
