The evolution of he social network has changed the way our society functions of a whole. Twitter especially has grown popular of people of all ages and all social classes and back grounds. It has grown to be a large medium that many people rely on today. Athletes and celebrities have found the use of twitter as a great way to connect with their fans on a more personal level. Twitter has also led to fines for NFL players as well as spark large controversies in the celebrity world. It has become so popular in the NFL that players are now fined thousands of dollars if they tweet 90 minutes before or after a game. Twitter is also used by music artists and movie stars to help promote their work. Twitter is used by people on an everyday basis to tell their "followers" what they are presently doing or something they found interesting or liked on the internet. It is another way for people to share their thoughts, feelings, or whatever else they want with a mass group of people. I do not have a twitter because I already have a facebook and think the two are basically the same thing but i do like to sometimes look at the twitters from the likes of Chad Ochocinco, and Shaquille O'Neal because they post some funny things. It is also kind of cool to know what these guys do during their days. Twitter has definitely evolutionized our society and has grown to be a strong medium. Included is a link to Chad Ochocinco's twitter.

Mike, Twitter has really developed into a significant medium over the past several years. It's really interesting to hear from major athletes especially when they announce major trade possibilities before the news picks them up. It will be interesting to see how this social network and others expand over the next few years in order to stay competitive.
