Twitter how to use it and why

Twitter is the social network created to allow for communication in short bursts.  Twitter was created by Jack Dorsey in 2006. the idea for Twitter came from his time as a dispatch software conductor ;which was his first job. Dorsey was honored as the technology innovator of the year on October 12, 2012 for the success of twitter and the invention of Square,a mobile credit card processor.
Twitter is primarily used to display your thoughts about certain events and topics relevant to the mainstream media. In recent years twitter has grown in popularity and is being used as a platform to promote business ventures as well as politics.

I personally don’t use twitter very often because it is my least favorite social media outlet but after getting into college and being introduced to new ways of utilizing it I’ve grown to appreciate twitter more. I use twitter to ;keep updated on news , read tweets from people who I’ve lost contact with, and to see the results of a pay-per-view fight or un televised game. I personally spend more time reading tweets than I do tweeting my own thoughts and ideas, so I consider myself a passive twitter user.
My list of followers is low due to my lack of use and the people I follow are mostly classmates and friends from my school and neighborhood, I also follow a few celebrities like; Dwayne Johnson, Deion Sanders , and   Emmitt Smith. I follow all of these guys for one simple reason because they have personality traits that I believe everyone should aspire to have; I admire Dwayne Johnson for his humility and kindness , Deion Sanders for his confidence and the fact that he doesn’t hide his talent and I admire Emmitt for his work ethic and resiliency. My twitter handle is @Tommyboyswag96.

what's LinkedIn?

LinkedIn was created by Reid Hoffman and a group of his colleagues from Social net and Paypal in 2003. 
LinkedIn is a social media platform that allows people to network with professionals, to establish relationships that translate into job opportunities.
LinkedIn allows users to post their education, experience and skills to ensure that employers know enough about them to see if they are qualified for the job.








LinkedIn is primarily used by High school and college student in an effort to build their portfolio.
 this is done to connected students to employers before they graduate making it easier for them to find jobs.
with my LinkedIn I hope to share my content with employers so that they may give me feedback and tips on how I could produce better content.
Jerel Palmer is an example of someone who has a well organized LinkedIn profile. Every aspect of his linkedin is detailed with information about his expertise ,which has allow him to connect with a multitude of news stations and has gotten him many job opportunities. the only negative to his profile  is that he didn't smile in his profile picture.
