Social networking site: Is Twitter really what its made out to be?

With Twitter becoming one of the world most popular social networking sites, everyone is questioning whether twitter is actually that good.

With facebook as competiton, Twitter needed to show they have upped there game and have new features that no other social networking site has. Im sure people who havent got Twitter yet are wondering what twitter is about and how it actually works. Twitter for those that dont know, is a whole collection of microblogs where people can post their thoughts and feelings onto the site through a post. Its an open social site where anyone is welcome to join, the tweets that are posted can be viewed through other sites like facebook, myspace,bebo or on your mobile via twitters website.



Evaluation of opening

what do you still need to find out?

I need to find out more facts and figures, and which social networking sites are the most used for example look at the amount of viewers that twitter, facebook and myspace get and compare them.

Are there any other ways you could use some of this information?
 
With the information i got i could use it as quotes or use the different points to argue against certain things, you could put the facts used in a list or a table to look back on.

Can you use even more of the sources to liven your piece up or can you use fewer and include more of our own idea?

I could include more of my own views on twitter as i use the socail networking site daily, so i know alot about it. I would use my own twitter as an example and incoorporate those idea onto the article.











hairspray review


Hairspray

Plot

Based in 1962 Baltimore, and Tracey Turnblad , a girl with big crazy hair and hopes to achieve her dream of appearing on a popular dance show which is the ‘Corny Collins show’ she gets to that stage but not everything is the way she wanted it to be. The 1962 based film also focuses on the fight against racial segregation which is led by a blonde haired Queen Latifah and its battle against racism and size-ism but will this actually be ended...

Review

If you’re into films that have already been done, then hairspray is a very updated and enjoyable film. Hairspray is a 2007 American musical film based on the 2002 Broadway musical of the same name, which in turn was based on John Waters's 1988 comedy film of the same name. It’s bubbly and slightly campy, and basically just good family fun, for everyone to enjoy.

The most notable stars, including John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer and Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes, James Marsden who plays the most bubbly and happy character in the film! Plus Queen Latifah, Brittany Snow who has all stared in very recent and popular films, hairspray managed to compact as many stars as possible into their cheesy but enjoyable film. High school musical star, Zac Efron plays Link Larkin, turns out to be big haired Tracey’s lover. John Travolta takes the role of Edna Turnblad, Tracy’s mum (played by Divine in the 1988 original), and appeared in a latex fat-suit. This film is a difficult one, it’s like marmite you either love it or hate it!

Hairspray manages to mix realism with theatricality.
