Tweet All About It

By Ryan Deuel
Every year in the high school there is always something that sweeps through and takes the students by storm. This year that something is the social network known as Twitter. Many of the high school students this year have created a Twitter account to post or tweet random things that go through their minds. Twitter is where you can go online and tweet or post about what is going on during the day. People can also go online and tag their friends in their tweets to communicate with one another.
Tanner Bean, a senior this year commented “Twitter is so pointless, yet somehow is addicting and fun.” He believes it is pointless because no one can gain anything from having a Twitter and not everyone wants to know what you are thinking 24/7. “I only tweet about things that I think are awesome, like seeing a Maserati in the morning,” stated Tanner.
Kyle Johnson, also a senior says “Twitter equals #awesome,” a common phrase people put in their tweets. The pound symbol in front of the “awesome” is known as a hash tag to twitter users. Hash tags are put in front of phrases that are used to describe something that the user has tweeted about.
Twitter is one of a few social networks used by the students at Interstate 35 this year and there will be many more to come in the near future as long as there is Internet available.
