Tweet Tweet - Why Twitter Is The Best Social Media Site

The premise of social networking is to allow people to share their thoughts with one an other. No other social network site utilizes the speed and immediacy of the internet quite like Twitter does. It allows users to check on the status of friends, artists, and celebreties with ease. The home page of one's Twitter account is constantly updating so new content is available with every passing minute. Twitter also currently ranks number nine on Alexa's top 500 global sites.

A huge reason why Twitter continues to grow internationaly is it's incredible moble interface. Twitter is a social media site that was made for sharing things as they happen, and the app shows that. If something out of the ordinary happens during your day, simply send out a tweet and maybe a few others can connect with you on this. While the desktop site is also great, all of the features are available within the mobile app which is normally one of the main problems with mobile interfaces.

If a user is ever getting bored of what is posted by who they are following, the discover feed is there to provide more entertainment and information. Many younger users stay updated not only in respect to pop culture, but also general news thanks to this discover feed. This feed combines trending topics along with interests related to your profile and keywords used by you and who you follow.

My personal Twitter experience has been nothing but great. I use this site way more than any others and check it a couple of times each day. Not only do I get to see what my friends are thinking or doing, but I also get to follow funny vine accounts and what not. The profile customization perfectly fits the simplicity of the website. I feel as though there are just too many features on other popular social network sites such as Facebook. Twitter is so great because of this simplicity. Every tweet is 140 characters or under and tweets with pictures are becoming more and more popular.

This is a site that offers the average person, avid social network user or not, with the ability to easily access information and entertainment. With that being said, the simplistic layout of the site can bother some users. But for me, it is the epitome of what a social network site should be. Concise, sometimes important, information.
