Numbers that impressive mean the site is more than just the net’s latest craze — it means the service has become an inescapable cultural phenomenon, for better or worse. Twitter can not only link friends and co-workers together, but fans to their idols. It has changed the way people communicate with their friends and also their favorite stars. Anyone can follow anyone, and connect to them. But, as the saying goes you can’t have too much of a good thing. Some people abuse twitter and they find themselves regretting ever using it. People have got in trouble at their job, been fined, some have lost fans and even the economy is effected.
Twitter has been not only a positive way for people to stay in touch, but it also allows bossiness's to link to the social media. It allows bossiness's too link to their employees and their customers on a whole new level. They can promote their product and ask for advice and how to promote it. The twitter revolution has helped bossiness's break through the wall and get into consumers interests much easier and much more successfully.
Some people who use twitter have found themselves immediately regretting it. The general public understands that what you put online stays online and can be seen or accessed by just about anyone. Some times there are tweets put up about ones work. The person who tweeted it never meant for it get out, but they can end up getting in trouble or even losing their jobs. In one case a man posts something about his new job at Cisco: “Who is the hiring manager. I’m sure they would love to know that you will hate the work. We here at Cisco are versed in the web”. This entry eventually got back to the higher powers at be, and this innocent tweet cost this guy his job. Twitter can be easily abused and can end up being detrimental to ones life.
Not only has Twitter effected individuals lives but, some believe that it has pushed our economy to were it lies today. A professor at Harvard has hypothesized that since the use of twitter the economy has plunged. He believes that workers are now more distracted then ever. Instead of doing their regular duties, they would be tweeting pointless anecdotes on their co-workers, or their boss, and themselves. This chart shows the use of twitter and the economic downturn:
Although technology seems to provide easy accessibility to our lives and makes them more practical it also can harm us. The use of twitter lets everyone know how we feel and what we think about people, but sometimes somethings are meant to be kept to ourselves. Also they as technology makes people lazier because everything is at our fingertips and it is starting to show in our economy. The newly praised phenomenon twitter has offered us great accessibility with our friends and idols, but also brings us down in other more important aspects of life.
