Twitter on an iPhone By: Karina Monticone

Twitter is worldwide social networking site that is used daily by millions to express thought, whereabouts, ideas, questions, and even a way to vote. The site is also known to be a main source of conflict, rumors, and gossip. Twitter has seemed to be one of the leading causes for outbursts all over the world.

Recently, actor Ashton Kutcher and actress Demi Moore filed from divorce. Without twitter it’s believed that the news would not have been a gossiped about subject, the spotlight wouldn’t have been focused on the two for such a long time. Before filing for divorce, rumors about Kutcher cheating and having numerous affairs on his former wife were brought to the surface, which in return led to secret after secret being reviled.

Not only does the social networking site interfere with famous relationships, but also famous ongoings throughout the day. Actor Alex Baldwin was kicked off an American Airline flight for using his cellphone after reportedly being asked to put it away since the plane doors had been shut. Baldwin later tweeted criticizing the airline and its employees.

Twitter not only causes bigger problems for the famous, but also for the average teen. For example the famous “twitter fights” or a “subtweet.” In return, those tweets can start a fury.

Whether the latest gossip be on a famous star, or even one’s own pupils, Twitter has a fast way of getting the “stories” around.
