In a world that is self-centered and technology saturated, one website thrives in the vast wonders of social media. Twitter, a site that grows in membership every day, hasn’t changed much singe its birth.
Sure, the layout may look a little different, and the color scheme has changed just a bit, but the heart and soul is still there. Twitter is plain and simple updates.
No relationship fluff of who’s dating who. No pictures from your drunken whore-fest of Spring Break that no one wants to look at. And most important, no “friends.”
As you all know, I have this strange addiction with Twitter. Personally I use it because I don’t get to hear myself talk enough throughout the day. And because of the fact that the people who choose to read all of the colorfulness that is my newsfeed are called my “followers”—stalking has a way with me. Emoji thumbs up.
Twitter isn’t just a website for the common Joe or Jane, though. Yes, the common person has all the ability to become someone because of the site, those who live in the limelight constantly take the cake in followship.
Celebrities from around the world have taken to the website, drawing people to join the site themselves and giving them a play-by-play of their life. Twitter has changed the way that the public interacts with the “private” lives of celebrities.
Twitter isn’t the only social media raking in celebrities left and right. Applications for smart phones like instagram and FourSquare and giving the chance for the outsiders to take a peek at what’s going on in the Hollywood world some call reality.
Drake, Taylor Swift and Snoop Dogg are all frequent photographers, posting pictures that they’ve taken and hipsterized to their personal instagram account.
If your goal in life is to become famous, or anything of the sort—maybe you just want to have eight children and start a reality television show—you should try your hand at social media.
Maybe you’ll get lucky and end up like Stevie Ryan who has a new hit show on MTV thanks to her comedic tweets. Could you be next?
