more that 140 characters

Nowadays the information runs very fast on the web. At last years, the social networks are a very important tool for journalism.  One of them is twitter a very simple social network. 

Only in one hundred forty characters the twitter users writes in real time what happens in their life, in their country, or at the world. The mass media uses this social network to announcing the news that they publish. 

Born in 2007, twitter was created like a simple “microblog” for the people. But at the following year, the application won a lot of followers, mainly, because information flows very fast. Today twitter is a important tool for communicate important national and world events. The last Chilean earthquake is a good example. The communication pathways were broken in the country behind the quake.  Because of Twitter, the journalists reported the recent events related to the earthquake and tsunami on real time.

For me twitter is a very important site. I work in two student’s projects like a community manager.  Because this,  i visit frecuently this website. Is one of my work tools. 

I like this site for all what I mentioned earlier.
