Twitter. To the non-tweeter, it is a social network that is pointless and confusing, but to the avid tweeter, it is the ability to live your life, 140 characters at a time. Twitter is the ability to express whatever you are feeling; use a hash tag; show your followers the latest picture that you took; bash someone without saying their name; sing a song without uttering a note; be best friends with your favorite celeb; quote your favorite movie; tell the world what you are doing; a drama outlet for high school students; be a leader of numerous followers; stalk your favorite people; keep up with the minute by minute or second by second activities of your secret lovers. Twitter is nothing and everything at the same time.
To a celebrity, Twitter is an outlet to thank your fans; send out your latest music release; advertise your upcoming event; tell your adoring fans what you are eating at the moment; get in a fight with your ultimate enemy. To the follower, Twitter is where you stalk your favorite celebrity; find out where the party is at this weekend; find out the sores of your school's sports team; get the fact of the day; look at the love quote posted. Twitter is nothing and everything at the same time.
Living your life one-hundred and forty characters at a time can be challenging, but that is what Twitter is. Tweeting, hash-tagging, mentioning, trending, and following are what Twitter is. Twitter is nothing and everything at the same time.
