SOCIAL MEDIA
Why Keeping on Using Twitter
Twitter has always been a particular type of social media, with its specific codes. Most people heard about it, but only 10% of social media users are accessing it. Twitter has 353 million users, vs. 2.7 billion on Facebook and 1.2 billion on Instagram.
Do you remember the first time you visited Twitter? You probably felt a bit lost. Despite this aspect and the emergence of many new social platforms, Twitter made it through the years. It progressively added new features, but the core concept stayed the same.
So why does it still make sense to use it?
1 — Get information fast
Twitter is usually where you find information first, before it appears on media or other social channels. It applies to general news but also anything else. For example, when another social media is down, you can very quickly see it in the trending hashtags.
2 — Test your ideas
Given how often you can post, you can post a few updates daily without spamming your contacts. It’s a good opportunity to post your ideas and see which ones resonate with your audience, before sharing it on other platforms or in an article.
