Microblogging is the thing to do as of late. Usually when you meet someone and find out they don't have a twitter it comes as a surprise. Like this cartoon exemplifies, without "followers" in the twitter world, tweets are meaningless. This is not to say that everything you say on twitter is directed towards all of the people that follow you, rather you tweet certain things in essence to make yourself happier by getting retweeted, tweeted back, or simply by making people laugh with a brief and quirky sentence. Really, these social media sites are uplifting to many as they make social connections possible that would not have been available otherwise. It's a way to stay connected and surely every time you're notified on these sites it's like a mini reward. Everybody likes to know that people are thinking of them and these sites make it easy to share these thoughts.
