Twitter#

Twitter is a fantastic social media platform for business. You can promote your company and hashtag# then when you do that every tweet you post is available for everyone to see.
When you use the hashtag it must be relevant to your company if you’re trying to sell something.
This gets your brand out there and noticed, this has the potential to be a hazard though because it opens up the opportunity for cyberbullying, not for business tweets so much but for personal tweets.
Twitter uses “tweets” and is a short message service (SMS) so you are limited to 140 Characters, that is still enough to describe how Australia crumbled to the Pomms in the 4th Test this year all out for 60 and a 139 word tweet went global.
Twitter was formed in March 2006 and the First Tweet was sent July that same year.
The Company was formed by Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams, Noah Glass and Biz Stone.
Japan holds the record for the most tweets sent in a second at 143, 199 in 2013.
Always be careful what you tweet as there have been cases of people losing their jobs for what they have put on twitter or cyberbullying.
Follow these excellent twitter pages for your entertainment.

I chose to do my online collaboration report on the social media website ‘Twitter’. Here is a summary of my findings.

Twitter is a free social media website designed for online communication between people all over the world. Twitter was created and launched in 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams, Biz Stone and Noah Glass and now in 2015 has approximately 315 million users.

Each individual Twitter user has their own profile page and specific username. The username, which can sometimes be referred to as a handle, is used to identify the user on twitter. A status update or post made on Twitter is called a tweet.

When using Twitter you can subscribe to another Twitter account, this is called ‘following’. Once you follow another user you will see their tweets. Anyone on Twitter can follow or un-follow another user at any time with the exception of blocked accounts.

If you block a Twitter user they will be unable to follow you or add you to their Twitter list. Blocking is a necessary feature as Twitter is a social media website and the disadvantage of social media is the users can be exposed to cyber-bullying.
