Twitter - can Facebook, Tumblr and other social networking sites keep up?
Ever since the Twitter was set up in 2006, it has grown into one of the major well known social networking sites which PR Daily stocks from 2012 show us with the fact it has now 100 million active users.
Everybody knows the basics of how Twitter works. In fact, all you need to show people is the image of the little blue bird and people could probably write monologues about it!
But if you are not sure then here is the heads up to twitter. You have 150 words to write a little statment and then tweet on your twitter where your followers, who are mostly your friends but some people get lucky and find celebs following them, can either like or repost it if they find it funny or intresting so more peoplpe can see your words of instant knowledge. Like Facebook, you can also have photos where you can add your friends in and write captions.
It has kept many generations busy for hours and even some users may find they are at a loss without it. As S, Johnson said from the Time Magazine, "it's not as if we were sitting around four years ago and saying, 'if only here were a technology that would allow me to send a message to my friends, alerting them in real time about my choice of breakfast cereal." Posts like this may seem strange but it's easy to see the funny side!
Twitter has not just kept the public happy but also the rich and famous, from David Cameron to One Direction, where people can feel as if they can get an insite into these types of lives and what is going on. You will always find fans hoping that the celeb they are following, will answer to their tweet or for a higher up acheivement, follow them back.
Overall, Twitter is on of the fun ways to socalise with friends but get to know about the other people in the world at the same time. It is worth having a go as you don't know what you might find out or what might make you laugh.

Great effort Abbie. You have captured the style really well - you just need to tighten up your own sentence structure at times. Also, make sure that any quotations are completely relevant - do you think the one you used was more negative about Twitter than positive? Overall - this is thoughtful work (as usual!)
