Twitter

 


I always had a good understanding of Twitter, as it is a big social media platform but there is much more you can do on it to use to your advantage which I wasn't aware of. One of the tools I wasn't aware of was Twitter Lists. This allows you to subscribe to a list of users that maybe have the same interest or relevant information you find helpful or just for your own social pleasure. I subscribed to a sports journalism list, as this is a subject I will find not only interesting, but may help me get inspiration for university assignment's etc. Twitter advanced search is also a really good tool, this allows you to search for specific tweets by using things such as certain dates, hashtags or a specific account. The last tool I tried was creating a Twitter moment. A Twitter moment is a way of collecting several tweets to sort of tell a story. This was a very easy project, I gathered relevant tweets, and also added a cover photo for this. Overall I think Twitter is a good tool, especially for the media/journalism industry, as the news is there and then, almost like a live update media app, however there are downsides as people can make fake accounts and use it to hate on people, whether that be celebrities or not.
