This is an article from the web of “The New York Times” and wroten by David Leonhardt, a columnist of this newspaper. This article is a study which highlight that the persons who have more followers at Twitter are Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Britney Spears, all of them are singers. However the author of this column makes a reflection about the difference between the number of followers that somebody can have and the influence that can has over this followers or other people.
In fact, being famous and so known doesn't mean that your opinion is gonna has more importance or influence than another people that are experts in something, for example in communication, like TV host/hostess, sacrificed athletes or even writers.
A singer can be so amazing famous but he/she doesn't have to be a very good communicator neither has good and amazing ideas or thoughts with a very big social impact. For example, the famous Spanish singer, David Bisbal, was so criticized because of the post that shared about the problems of Egypt in the last weeks because he trivialized so much about this theme that is really sensitive nowadays.
Coming back to the article of “The New York Times”, the author makes this reflexion in base of the point that to measure the influence of Twitter, “The Times Magazine” collaborated with an independent research group “Twitalyzer” which did a study of that.
All of this means that it doesn't mind who are you or from where you come if you have brilliant ideas with which you can cause an important impact to the twitters. In my opinion Twitter is a very good tool with a big social impact nowadays and it is perfect to share any kind of idea or thought which arrives quickly and easy to a big number of persons.
Well done! Very interesting article. Good summarization and commentary.
ResponderEliminarYou are over using the word 'so'. Look at this:
'being famous and so known doesn't mean that'
being famous and very well know doesn't mean that
'singer, David Bisbal, was so criticized because'
singer, David Bisbal, was highly criticized because
The article that Marc comment on talks about the influence that have the famous people on twitter. The article talks us about what kind of people have more followers on twitter, and how Marc told us Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Britney Spears are the most followers.
ResponderEliminarMarc its completely right when he says “being famous does not mean your opinion I going to be better than the other people”. This is true, but the problem is that a lot of people thing that what his idols or “superheroes” say on TV or magazines are always true and real, this is false, don´t let they influence you; they just want to make money.
If you make an original or interesting publish on twitter in less than an hour depending on who you are, you will have hundreds of comments or ten comments. Where I´m trying to get is that you have great ideas it does not matter who you are, you will success.
As the article says and impressed me, religious people are very comment on their twits. In conclusion, as Marc said, Twitter is a great tool of communication nowadays because even if you like it or not the post of your follower you can comment on them.
