Using Twitter, you can connect globally with people and different organizations. With Twitter there is constant stream of news that is being shared from individual users as well as groups. The activity stream works really well and there is a constant update of information each time that users decide to make a tweet. While using the activity stream it allows Twitter users to also reply to news or information that they like or sometimes do not like. You can retweet other information you like, which puts whatever information in your time feed to allow people to see what you like. Twitter has a lot to offer. There are options that allows users to explore news and find out the different trends that are going on. You can get specific with what to explore like news, entertainment, sports, and politics, which are some main suggestions that are offered.
