Politics and Twitter

Twitter served many purposes and has grown increasingly popular in poltical elections. Many people tweet and “retweet” opinions and ideas of what they look for in a leader and why they feel one candidate is better than another candidate. It is increasing popular during elections that twitter begins trending certain political figures and this may sway people to vote one way or another. Campaigning is no longer just flyers in the mail or television ads it is based on social media and twitter has taken a hand in it all. Society is taking in information about future elected officials through a new outlet and this can be swaying, for example if someone sees their friend tweeting or bolstering a candidiate for office they may simply vote for that candidiate because it came up on their timeline it can simply just be a name recognition on the ballet. 

Why Twitter

Twitter is unique because it only allows a limited number of charterers per tweet. Twitter has an impact on society because people are so caught up with the idea of tweeting their life “play by play” per se. People tweet pictures and sometimes comments or bits of information that are easily traceable and this is something that is can come back and haunt people if not used properly.

People and Twitter

Twitter is a social medium that allows people to post whatever is on their mind, with the exception that they do so with about forty characters to work with. This social media is comfortable to users because it allows users to keep up and even contact celebrities that they normally would not be able to contact without this social medium. People tend to publish a lot of their lives on social media and it has become common place in our society today. Many people tweet and use twitter.
