Twitter-Web 2






Web 2 is used to share information whether it be through a blog/ wiki/ or other service.

One of the web 2 tools that I am familiar with is Twitter. I have been on twitter for about a year and mainly use it to read what celebs are getting up to. It can be very useful in many ways but also very dangerous.

 Advantages:

→ Free

→ Can link with other social networks to find your friends

→ Simple, easy to navigate around

→ Can 'retweet' messages for everyone to read

→ Business owners- can inform people about offers/events etc

→ 'trending'- can type in a word on search bar and see what other people are writing about that subject

Disadvantages:
→ Children are vulnerable and may contact the wrong people
→ limited to 140 characters in 1 post
→ Cannot post videos only links
→ unsure who is reading your tweets


I know that twitter is very useful to most people to contact their friends/ colleagues/ customers but only if it is used in the right way. If not then it can be very dangerous and get a lot of people in trouble as everyone around the world can see your tweets!
