The article we read this week was called the twitter revolution the author was not said this week. This article was about twitter. It gave us information on twitter. This explains why twitter is so popular. This aticle was taken place worldwide.

The 4 facts i learned were 1. The website is worth 250 million. 2. Their are 14 million users 3. only 30 workers 4. what banal means.

I thought this article was boring. I did not think we had to read about twitter. I thought thisa article was ment for teenagers.

"The Twitter Revolution" is an article about how Twitter has about 14 million users who spend about a half hour a day each tweeting. Celebrities, politicians, and ordinary Joe Shmoes tweet everything from Haikus to stupid play by play updates on what they are doing in under 140 characters.

Four facts I found in the article are: Twitter has 14 million users. Twitter has saved lives. You can "friend" or follow a celebrity. 2.25 million tweets are sent each day.

I liked the article because it explained everything nicely. However, I don't like the idea of people obsessively posting every move they make. I think some people live in an electronic world and don't pay good attention to everything else. I would recommend this article to people like me who don't know a whole lot about Twitter.

"The twitter revolution" was an article about the pro's and the con's of twitter. The article was also about what twitter is. Finally, the article was about how twitter started,(how they got the idea.)

four facts that i learned from the article are...
1. I learned that twitter is kind of like texting and facebook combined.
2. I also learned that twitter came out in march,2006
3. Twitter was the branchild of three silkeon valley enterpreneurs, Jack Dorsey, Even Williams, and Isaac "Bliz" Stone.
4.Did you know that all kinds of people use twitter, even hit celebritys do (manly so that they can get more popular.

I thought that this article was good because of the supporting details. I also liked it because for each paragraph there was a title. I couldn't belive at first that tweets could save peoples lives, but i guess if a famous person such as kesha got a message that someone is going to commit sucide they could get there fans and convince the person that they are loved and wanted. I would recomend this article to teenagers who like texting and facebook because twitter is alot like the two combined.

The Twitter Revolution

The article talks about how twitter has pros and cons of twitter. How it has affected peoples lives in ways. And how was twitter stared and who started twitter.

I’ve learned that 14 million people tweet half an hour per day. Twitter was made by three people. Twitter could lose billions. And twitter has 2.25 million tweets per half hour.

My thoughts are that I thought 2 or 1 person made twitter not three. How much are the maker’s worth? And are they going to make twitter better in some way.

2: There is more than 14 million twitter users.

"The Twitter revolution" was about how Twitter works. Also other ups and downs that young teens should be aware of. Maybe sometime the kids might have their own Twitter account.

Three facts that I learned from this article were............
-Twitter has over 14 million people who use it.
-Even the most famous of people use Twitter for example president Obama.
-Twitter has been used in some ways to help save lives.

I liked this article . Usually at about age 11 kids start to get emails and start to text. And I think if maybe some day those kids want to step it up they should probably know some of this stuff as well as their parents.
