COMS 4502 Chapter Notes - Chapter n/a: Chicken Dance, Web Traffic, Interactive Media
Document Summary
Social media is a powerful tool for businesses and individuals. Deciding which social media platforms we use and how we use them reflects how we want to portray ourselves online. When it comes to twitter, we only have 140 characters to make our first impression. Users will judge your credibility and determine if they want to follow in a matter of seconds of viewing your twitter profile. Some people use twitter for business purposes to generate leads, while others use it for personal use to share colourful commentary and personal photos and videos. The tweets coming from a ceo of a company will be different from tweets coming from a freelance photographer, celebrity, or a student. But anyone can get a feel of real-time journalism when using twitter to share news and opinions about local, national, and international events. By live tweeting an event, you can gain a large amount of quality twitter connections in a short amount of time.
