Twitter Smackdown

Twitter is unquestionably an app that is used by the majority of people our age. It is truly a great tool for many different reasons. For the most part, everyone knows what Twitter is. For those who do not, essentially, Twitter is a social networking tool that allows people from all across the world to connect and discuss different topics that are occurring. It is extremely useful for helping people feel more connected to your day to day life. Along with this, it is great for small or large businesses due to the fact that it provides a close feeling of companionship with the customer.

In my particular desired field, I feel as if Twitter is almost a necessity. Being a finance major, I use Twitter for a multitude of different things. Mainly, I find that it is incredibly helpful to find up to the minute news of different topics that may affect the topics we are studying in class. In the future, if I take the route of being a Financial planner, this tool can help me connect with different clients. It goes without saying that social media can have a large impact on many different fields. The things in which Twitter can assist people in are absolutely endless.

  1. Peter,
    I use Twitter every day and I think it is a great place to network. Being able to connect with people around the world can be really helpful in any field of work. As a business major I could use this app to listen to customers input about my business as well as connect with other companies.

  2. Hi Peter, I love using twitter because I can follow my friends, family, and celebrities. I also use it as a way to keep track of the different things going on in the world. I think it’s a great way to connect with people who may share the same interests as you. It is also a good way for businesses to reach out to their clients and to use this platform as a way to advertise.

  3. Hi Peter!
    Personally, Twitter is definitely my favorite social media platform. Unfortunately, I will not be able to use it for my future profession, but it's interesting that twitter is a necessity for your future career to connect you with potential clients.

  4. Hi Peter! I personally can say I have used twitter! I have a personal account on twitter that I use not only for my person use, but to also follow famous, political or businesses on. Though I do go on twitter mostly to see what memes or funny tweets are being posted! I do see the benefits of it other than my personal use!

  5. Peter,
    I use Twitter every single day. It is an incredible way to connect with people all over the world. I agree with your statement that it is an easy way to find out news instantly. I use Twitter for my personal enjoyment and cannot see myself using it in my future profession as a biologist. However, I can definitely see a business major using this app to connect with clients.

  6. Hi Peter,
    I am very familiar with Twitter; I use it every day now especially since I started coaching football! I have found it has been a great way to connect with other coaches around both local and far away. It has also been an amazing tool to have to show how involved I am at the high school I currently am a substitute for because the athletic director is constantly tagging me in posts related to football which is awesome for other potential schools that are looking to hire me to see when they look at my social media.

  7. Hi Peter,
    I have been on Twitter for about the last 5 years. I used to use it everyday, but I personally find it hard to navigate. It is a good tool to use to help with networking. I can't see myself using it in the future. This might be good for marketing businesses.

  8. Hi Peter! I use twitter daily, and see it as a great tool. The platform is huge, so its easy to gain exposure to a wide audience. It can also be great to establishing an online community and communicating with others. Overall, your app smack down is great, thanks for sharing!

  9. Hey Peter,
    Twitter is highly used in today’s world. Especially since our President and other corporate leaders use it to get their message across. It would make sense to learn how to use Twitter and how to keep up with it. Twitter is great for business because it connects the business with others that have similar interests. So if I sold cars, on Twitter I would be connecting with others that are interested in cars and who could potentially buy my product.

  10. Twitter is a tool that I still haven’t used or didn’t sign up for. I know that our president uses this more than anyone that I know of and how trendy this tool is. But Twitter is a tool that I will never download due to personal beliefs on its affect to the users. But overall, great demo and thank you for sharing on how this can be useful in your Finance career.

  11. Peter,
    I really love using twitter. Your smackdown was really good on this tool! I actually use twitter for my personal use and also I have a twitter for academic reasons. I believe I can use twitter in my career because I can communicate with other teachers and also I can look up ideas for my classroom.

  12. Peter,
    I think that the way that you presented this tool through the lenses of being a finance major was really interesting. There are so many ways that it can be utilized and you really went over every tool very well.

  13. Hi Peter!
    Twitter is a great app to network and socialize with one another. I personally use Twitter to follow and interact with my friends and family. I also use it to stay up to date with celebrities that I follow or admire. Twitter is even used by our President of the United States. I like how easy it is to use and navigate around. Overall your presentation was great, thanks for sharing!

  14. Hi Peter!
    I was very tentative to downloading Twitter when I first joined the community. It seemed very intimidating and hard to navigate. If anyone was having the same doubts as I was six years ago I would show them your presentation. You did a great job of highlighting the applications features and how it can be applicable in the workforce.

  15. Peter,
    Twitter is something that I use every day and I have seen so many different things on this app as well as so many different uses. This app is simple to use and a great way to connect with so many different people for so many different reasons. I can most definitely see this being used in a classroom setting as well.

In my opinion, the networks you build can make or break your success. The chapter gives a great summary on the different types of networks there are. The chapter also goes on to discuss the immense amount of ways to create a network from tools, like social media platforms.  In my opinion, this part of the chapter is the most important due to the fact that social media plays a large role in everyone's day to day lives.
