* What is Twitter?
Twitter is social networking service and microblogging service that enables its users to send and read text-based posts of up to 140 symbols, known as "tweets". Unregistered users can read the tweets, while registered users can post tweets through the website interface, SMS, or a range of apps for mobile devices.
It was created in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey. The service rapidly gained worldwide popularity.
How does it differ from other social networks?
Twitter differs from other social networks because its posts could be just under 140 symbols. Twitter is worldwide social network. A lot of celebrities, politics, and journalists around the world use twitter. Twitter doesn’t have analog, as I know. Twitter is unique in sui generis. It’s like a microblog or something like that. This social service is very convenient to people who prefer brevity and efficiency.
How is twitter used by journalists?
Journalists prefer efficiency and twitter is a good way to post news and check it. Twitter applications are available for android and apple devises. It means that twi is mobile and journalists and other people can use it everywhere. Also by instrumentality of twitter journalists and ordinary people can post photos and videos which make a message contains information about some event more interesting, more bright and colorful. I think twitter fits to every journalist who wants to be in centre of important and interesting.
Twitter is great for PR, advertising and propaganda. If we talk about journalists, they can PR themselves and issue or TV programme or radio wave which they work for and etc. Examples of Russian journalists in twitter: Tina Kandelaki, Ksenia Sobchak, Vladimir Soloviev.
