Twitter is the 'Facebook' of our generation. Millions of people are able to stay in touch while sharing tweets, photos, news, and updates on their lives with the touch of a button. Twitter is used by politicians, athletes, and social media influencers to share their ideas and brands to the world. It is so simple to use people continually scroll and refresh their timeline for the newest updates and trends happening in the world. The average adult spends around 38 minutes on the Internet per day while ages 16-28 spend around 3 hours per day on social media. Social media with Twitter included helps keep our lives intertwined while our everyday lives are becoming more connected through technology.

    Jim, I have to agree. I think Twitter is a good platform for people to share their content. I believe it is efficient and can be effective if the user uses the platform correctly!

    What do you think contributed to Twitters' resurgence? I remember when it was the go-to for news scoops, job leads, etc., but that has all fallen by the wayside. It feels like every couple of years Twitter dries up a well and then gets reinvented somehow.

    James,


    Interesting example of usability!  Personally, I think unlike many other platforms Twitter is very consistent in user experience.  When switching devices, the experience is seamless and there doesn't seem to be an objective difference between platforms.  Good example!

    Twitter is so consistent with their presentation that they have their own industry standard, AKA Bootstrap!
