Twitter is a well-known social platform, so what are the characteristics of Twitter?
1. Simplicity
The most well-known characteristic of Twitter is the 140-character limit. All tweets are limited to 140 characters, so every message on Twitter can be sent as an SMS to friends or followers of registered users. This also ensures the convenience and speed of information transmission on Twitter to a large extent, which is also a fascinating aspect of Twitter.
2. Publicity
On Twitter, all registered or unregistered users who know your Twitter account can read the messages you post, and registered users can also subscribe to your posting homepage on this basis, which is what we commonly call “Follow”. After becoming your follower, you will see the dynamics you post on Twitter at the first time. This also greatly ensures the spread of information on Twitter. Therefore, many news or events are more easily spread on Twitter. For example, in the American Airlines downing incident, Twitter users who witnessed the downing of American Airlines Flight 1549 kept updating their Iweet in real time, which made the spread of this news faster than the New York Times.
3. Efficient interaction
On Twitter, we use a back-to-face communication method, just like we are performing on the street. Everyone passing by can stop and watch. It doesn’t matter whether they know each other or have any connection. They can choose to stay and appreciate our performance (retweet), give us coins (follow), or just pass by (like). If our performance is exciting enough, it can also attract other tourists on the street, and we don’t need to actively communicate with passers-by. We can communicate point-to-point or one-to-many, which depends entirely on personal interests. Because of this efficient interaction mode, it also directly contributes to the viral spread effect of information on Twitter.
So Twitter It is simpler, more concentrated and highlights its own information dissemination effect, and only serves the life at this moment. The complicated life in the past and the future is not within the scope of efficient dissemination. For almost all network users, efficient and concise real-time dynamic communication with friends is indispensable, and Twitter provides an information communication platform for the public to interact in a very concise and practical way, thus further stimulating the excitement of the network body.
