I set up my twitter account due to the course requirement of Comm464. I did not use twitter because my friends and family members are not in this community circle. After I created my account and checked out its function, I found that I got a misunderstand of twitter. Before I heard that twitter is only allow people to tweet message without any reply or comment function to avoid some users leave offensive messages which bring emotional harm to tweeters. At that time, I surprised about the degree of prevention of online violence. On the other hand, I felt that it would a boring social networking without interaction among users. How come it became a popular social network in the world.

Now I got the answer. Twitter is similar to a social network, Weibo, that I frequently use. Users can tweet, retweet and reply any tweet. Also, it has trend for popular topic that people are discussing. It is design and developed well in integrating and searching information. Although I was not a person that like to involved in social networks because it took too much to arrange a social networking platform, I found twitter is a good place to gain hint of information that you interest immediately. Just type the key word and search or click on the trend for topic you like. All relevant tweets would show out. In addition, you can filter the search to a more precise result that you expect. Twitter is added to my social networks.
