Everybody’s Tweeting

When Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey posted his first Tweet on his newly created website even he couldn't have imagined that just a few years later over 200,000,000 people would be doing the same thing at least once a month. With the words 'just setting up my twttr', Jack launched a site that would change how we communicate forever. Twitter was originally created as a messaging system for a podcasting website, but it took on a life of its own as people realised it offered them the power to connect with millions of people instantly. Suddenly everyone had a voice, as long as it wasn't longer than 140 characters. But what are we using it for, and just how is Twitter changing the way we do things?

1Perhaps the greatest impact Twitter has had is on breaking news. Before Twitter, news had to get the attention of a journalist, who then had to make sure the news was accurate and true before finally broadcasting it on the radio or TV. These days anyone who happens to be in the right place at the right time with a Twitter account can post news the second it happens. With retweets it can be halfway around the world in seconds. A perfect example of this was when a US flight made an emergency landing in the Hudson River in New York City. 'There's a plane in the Hudson. I'm on the ferry going to pick up the people. Crazy’ is how eyewitness Janis Krums broke the story to the world with this Tweet and a photo of the extraordinary event.

2 Young people have always loved to follow their pop idols, and Twitter has made it a whole lot easier. Before the Internet, teenagers used to join the fan clubs of their favourite bands and write letters to their heroes. If they were lucky, two weeks later they'd get a reply written by the club secretary. A few times a year they'd receive a magazine updating them on all the band's 'news'. Today’s teenagers don't need to wait. By following their idols on Twitter they get all the news the minute it happens. They get to hear what they had for breakfast, what they did the night before, what they're thinking as they sit waiting for a plane, and what they're going to do the next day. They get to hear it directly from the bands themselves.

3 Twitter allows people who think the same way to get together and do something about the things they care about. They can share information, organise campaigns and put pressure on governments and big businesses to change. It allows people to stand up to things such as cyber bullying, sexism and racism. Twitter has given the man and woman on the street the powe
