Twitter

As a young adult in today's media driven society, it is tough to find people who do not have a twitter account let alone never looked at the website. The question whether or not the popular website has peaked has arisen, and personally, I feel the statement is not a very accurate assessment. While the numbers of visitors to the site has dropped statistically, it is hard for me and I'm sure anyone else to go an entire day without encountering the topic of twitter. It is everywhere. Almost every day on Sportscenter, an announcement about a new overpaid athlete, complaining about his team via his twitter account is made. Fans of the teams, and various other celebrities join the site just so they can "follow" their favorite people and feel like they are somewhat close to them. I myself refuse to have a twitter account, but I know I am one of the very few people who do not have one. I feel like the site is a little to invasive for my liking, people don't need to know what I'm doing every minute of the day. Yes, I have a facebook account, however I am not the person who changes his status every ten minutes. In fact, I haven't changed my status in days. Twitter is still going strong and in my opinion, has in no way peaked. I believe that it will be still be going strong for a while because it is a way for us regular people to fel like celebrities for a few minutes out of the day.
