The good and the bad of twitter..

I believe social networking sites are a good way of keeping in touch with friends and relatives, there are many advantages of using sites such as Facebook or twitter, but there are also disadvantages and the cons of social networking and I intend to weigh the good and bad of a famous networking site of twitter..
Twitter although was introduced years ago is only now growing to popularity, there are no such things as friends only followers and unlike Facebook a status, is called a tweet! Twitter has many pro's, for example:

• The privacy- you can set your personal page to private and only allow people you know to follow you!;
• A tweet is only 140 characters long so there are no long statuses as you would find on Facebook;
• You can follow celebrities and keep up to date with the latest gossip;
• It is easily accessible as an app on android and the iPhone- it is also on any laptop, computer, iPad, etc.;
• You can only direct mail someone if you follow them and they follow you back, otherwise you cannot do so.

The con's of twitter can be:

• Online cyber bullying, many people tweet each other online abuse;
• Many fake profile accounts are made up of celebrities, etc. and cause a lot of trouble on the internet;
• Viruses can be sent during direct messages or tweeting and could harm your hard ware;
• Nude/ Provocative images can be sent through tweets, etc.
