Twitter's Main User: Everyday People

     The bulk of Twitter users are individuals with everyday adventures. People who have the account to brand themselves in the matter they please. The CEO, Jack Dorsey, believes that this website is more than just letting people know what you're doing at a certain time. Rather, he thinks it is a medium to express how you are doing and who you are doing it with. These everyday people feel connected to the millions of others when they send out a tweet. They feel as though their opinion has a voice. They use Twitter to blog on how their day at work was or how cute a picture of their child is. Regardless of retweets or favourites, they have the feeling that a follower scrolled through their timeline and noticed their message. Everyday individuals also use the network to debate opinions. They voice reasoning on social events like what happened with the case in Ferguson, MO. People in and outside the area had the opportunity to voice what they thought needed to be heard. It allowed people to have a sense of self-doing and change.  They send out jokes to followers and share videos they found online that made them laugh. They post important articles on things like climate change and space. They endorse products they enjoy using and bash ones they don't. Twitter for the everyday person is a strong outlet to display feelings on events, products, moments, and ideas.
