I Tweet but I'm Not A Bird

                                                                       There was a time where only birds could tweet but that all changed in 2006 thanks to Jack Dorsey. Users are now allowed to share views and stay informed on various topics by "tweets" in a free space where others may agree and make your tweet trend or disagree and still make your tweet trend.


Twitter is a microblogging and social networking service on which users post and interact with messages known as "tweets". Jack Dorsey was inspired to make twitter because he was fascinated with trains. He was intrigued by the messages he would hear from an St. Louis' emergency dispatch center and how they were able to communicate in short forms of sound, which led him to invent twitter. 


Jack Dorsey said, "They were always talking about where they are going, what they were doing and where they currently are and that is how the idea of twitter came."

Twitter is now used by 200 million users who are sending over a billion tweets. It is considered one of the top main stream social medias. It has become apart of users everyday lives, whether it being used  to inform about news or sports, marketing a business or just to be entertained. Twitter has made a big world so small where users can connect with people all over the world.
Even President Trump posts on twitter about his constant rants. He's either always using it to brag about what he claims he has done to make America great again or complaining about people who believes he should be impeached. I feel that he is one of the most unprofessional and childish presidents ever because it is so immature to run to twitter about petty things. He is always attempting to combat scrutiny by posting a childish tweet rather than handling things in an adult manner. Therefore I do not like that he does this.

My thoughts on twitter are that it is a wonderful tool to market your business, gain a following, become a social media influencer and reach out to the world. Twitter is another way to be informed of news or share news. Users get to keep up with what going on around the world, what’s trending and Trump’s constant rants.

Since I am a new user, I intend on using my twitter it to stay informed on what’s going on around me and to market my YouTube channel while keeping users updated on my uploaded videos. I  I also will use it to share my views on various topics.

I follow former President Barack Obama, Rhianna, and De’arra Taylor. I follow Barack Obama because he is my forever president and the first African American President which represents black excellence. I feel whatever he tweets will be worth seeing. I follow Rhianna because she is also another prime example of black excellence and a positive figure in the black community. I follow De’arra Taylor because she is a successful youtuber and she markets her business on all social medias. I would like to watch and take notes so that I could be one day as successful as her.
