Twitter is a small social media application that has become gigantic in a very short amount of time. Twitter is basically a mini blog that allows its users to give brief updates, tips, jokes and anything else you can think of, throughout the day. Each update on twitter is called a “tweet” and many active users update their twitter feed 20 times a day. This is considered a social platform because people “follow” each other on Twitter and can comment on what people post on their twitter feed. People generally follow their friends, colleagues, fans, audiences, people with similar interests, people in the same industry etc, to stay on top of what is going on in the world and to see what people are doing.
