Twitter Can Help Graph Social Trends

who knew that one little bird could have the power to change the world, when twitter first launched people were pessimistic of the ability to share and explore content in the limit of 140 characters, but the flexibility of use and the high speed ability to share information with everyone, and the ability to create customized news feeds from subscribing to the people who's tweets you liked became an instant rave.

the reason that twitter rose to meteoric heights was the simple fact that most international celebrities jumped on the bandwagon instantly and used twitter as a tool to communicate with their huge fan bases, and as people started coming on board twitter to follow their idols, they started learning the flexibilites that twitter allowed thereby contributing to a snowball effect that steamrolled the social media platform.
