It’s becoming evidently obvious that Twitter is beginning to take over our lives... well it is mine anyway!
I, like many others, use Twitter to express all sorts of opinions on anything and everything, as well as communicate with people I wouldn't normally have the option to, like celebrities etc.
When your iPhone or iPad dies half way through your Netflix series and you have to wait the 10 minutes for it to turn back on again once you've plugged it in!! 👎— Chris Ingham (@Chris_Delonge) December 11, 2017
Take this tweet above! A perfect example of how Twitter is used by the majority of its users! We all tweet unnecessary thinks like this do people care? Probably not, but we tweet about it never the less!
Although the majority of us use Twitter to rant, complain and express mostly negative opinions it is a very useful platform for Journalists especially!
It is a new platform in which we are now able to produce live news updates for followers. It is a much faster way of being able to source live updates.
A lot of news outlets are now able to use Twitter user’s material in their news bulletins. For example, if we take into consideration the Manchester Arena bombings, news broadcasters were able to access the almost-live videos published by Twitter users in order to broadcast these images to the world.
