Twomey, Robyn. "How Twitter Will Change the Way We Live." time.com. TIME, 5 June 2011. Web. 21 Sept. 2011.
This article is about Twitter's rise and the usefulness of this social network.What is unique about the social network is the instant gratification of what is going on in the brain of the person that you are following.It also talks about a conference that had a live Twitter feed going on throughout, how it added another "layer" to the conversation that gave a different point of view than what was being said, and now the Twitter conversation will be on the web forever so the information can be shared for years to come.
The author's audience was intended for Twitter skeptics and critics. There is a bias towards the use of Twitter.
Twitter is one of those social media sites that can be utilized very well if for the right thing.It can spread very good things for a business or it can spread nasty rumors that can make or be an individual reputation.The same coud be said for other social media sites, like Facebook.As the author pointed out in the article the convention that he attended will have an "afterlife" on the internet, sharing the information from the convention to a wider audience. Some Twitter users "tweet" about brushing their teeth or eating a granola bar, giving the impression of complete and utter boredom of that individual user.
If you are interested in the social media hype, this is the topic for you! I,however really don't see the point of social media sights, therefore I don't wish to spend time writing a paper about it. The only concern I have for this topic is the potential difficulty finding unbias accounts/articles to use as supports.
