Twitter Takeover.


In case you haven't noticed, twitter is taking over the world.
From people amidst the crisis in Iran, to celebs, to musicians...you can follow anyone and everyone. (If you don't have one, consider yourself socially incapacitated.) Larry King has even included a twitter section as part of the show, allowing another level of interaction between viewers.

The amount of information coming out of Iran is limited considering American media is only allowed to report on location once a day. This leaves the Iranian people as the main source of information, using social networking sites such as twitter and youtube. Even though the government has shut down access to most of the internet, twitter is so accessible it cannot be silenced.

Just yesterday California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger TWEETED about his jets emergency landing and even included a picture once safely on the ground.

"A little adventure just now when my plane made an emergency landing. All's OK, though," he posted. And also included a photograph of the jet after landing.


I am not going to lie, at first I thought the site was incredibly stupid..."why do I want people to know what I am doing every second of the day...", but twitter has proved to be a very useful tool.
Follow me on twitter!
