#Twitter

The hashtag symbol has become super popular. Millions of people not only use hashtags created by others, but they create clever hashtags themselves. The success of the hashtag can be tied directly to the launch and uprising of Twitter in July of 2006.

Twitter has revolutionized the way we communicate with others across the world and the way in which we share news.

Since the launch of Twitter, many news outlets had to figure out how to successfully use Twitter to give news to the people. The challenge of that is to be attractive enough to catch the eye of users as they are scrolling. Now, just about every organization, including sports teams, has a social media coordinator or team.

I use twitter to quickly gain access to news mostly. I follow many journalist, reporters, and sports anchors to stay abreast about sports news. I follow Adam Schefter, Adrian Wojnarowski, Skip Bayless, and Stephen A. Smith just to name a few.

I also follow many Christian poets to keep up with tour dates, their success, their struggles, and just how they operate to encourage myself since I do Christian based poetry as well.

 I tweet to encourage, inspire, and to share my faith. Most of my tweets are about God or sports and sometimes I will tweet about how i feel but, I try to keep my feelings out of things,,

Twitter had very small beginnings but,it has gained traction so fast and it has been used effectively by President Donald Trump....well maybe effectively isn't the best word for it.

"crooked Hillary"

"You can't stop me"

"Handicapped and minority students don't need education."

"Something happened to a black person so they will vote for me!"

Whether you're a mail man, an athlete, a teacher, a high school student, a custodian, or the President, you can create a Twitter account and join the social media world. How you use your 140 characters is all up to you. I would just recommend that you Tweet Responsibly.
