My Favorite Social Media Tool: Twitter


Currently, Twitter is by far my favorite social media tool. I used to love Facebook but recently I have been finding myself annoyed by all of the emails Facebook sends me, plus a lot of those people aren’t my friends. I have slowly been deleting about 10-20 people a week because they don’t have anything in common with me. Twitter on the other hand, well here are 5 reasons why I like it so much:

1.       Short, quick posts (I like just reading a small blurb and then deciding if I want to read more)

2.       The quickness of the status updates (Facebook just recently started doing this but I don’t like how Facebook clumps similar statuses together)

3.       Background (I love being able to create my background how I want!)

4.       Doesn’t send status updates ( I don’t want a bazillion emails just because I re-tweeted someone or responded to one of their Tweets)

5.       It’s a newer social media tool (Facebook has been around for a long time now, so it makes sense that I got bored with it and now enjoy Twitter more!)

So today my favorite social media tool is Twitter but ask me again at this same time next year and I can guarantee you that I will have a much different answer. Social media is always getting bigger and better, so I wonder what will be next and what features about it I will learn to love.
