In the past year or so, Twitter has become the most used social networking site. Twitter is a site that is rapidly becoming one of the most talked about social networking services. When you have a Twitter account, you can use it to “tweet” to your friends and you can retweet and favorite what others have posted. Twitter is nothing like Facebook at all. On Facebook in order to see someone’s profile you must add them as a friend. On Twitter all you have to do is follow someone for them to come up on your timeline. Additionally, you can choose to stop following someone and they will stop coming up on your feed. Twitter came out on July 6^th, 2006 and now has 500,000,000 users.

Many people like Twitter better than Facebook because it is much easier to work and faster to get in contact with someone. Amanda Ortiz said, “I enjoy Twitter because I can have multiple accounts on one app.” Another student, Natalie Cassano, stated, “It’s easier to understand and more convenient than Facebook.” According to the Social Networking website ProCon.org, “In July 2012 Americans spent over 74.0 billion minutes on social media through a computer, 40.8 billion minutes through apps and in total 121/1 billion minutes on any social network site.” Twitter has definitely taken over any other social networking site.
