Few weeks ago, a group of German historians started to run Twitter. They updated about the Nazi’s Holocaust every single hours. This shows people not as reading the history books, but as illustrating as they might think that they see the historical events through their eyes, which were happened few decades ago. Not only about the holocaust, one account updated about the life of the President Kennedy. This attracts many tweeters, they commented that his words moved them, they feel as he is alive, and remind them about him again. “we are historians talking in present tense, we are not viewing it from a victims’ perspective, just trying to give a voice to every source.”, said Mr. Hoffman. In three weeks, these posts are widespread around the world, even the posts are translated into other various languages. As mentioned, people are waiting for the next posts hour-by-hour.
This new concept of the Twitter is a successful idea. Twitter has been losing its stock, the company should have a solution to get people back to the Twitter again, and this even brings huge impact on Twitter market. A large numbers of people are gathering to Twitter to see the posts, it implicates they succeeded to get back their attraction to them. Also, this is not only benefit to the company but also to the children or the teenagers. They would get an opportunity to know their history.
