The animated character in this short video asks, "Who are they talking to ? This question mainly depends on your setting on twitter. If you make your profile public, then anybody can just find you. You're virtually talking to every and anyone. But then if you change your settings to private, then only your followers can view your tweets. In that sense, you're strictly talking to those interested in your thoughts.
I am so happy that this animation was made. I completely agree with the little man with a blue shirt and red tie. I think there isn't really a purpose to twitter. It shows twitter to what it really is- mundane posts about a person. Social interaction can be seen as a good way to actually keep in touch with people, but then today people take it too much and they are relying on it. This goes back to , the machine is controlling us.
Thank you for your intelligent, thoughtful post! Good analysis of the audience of Twitter. Do you believe that a majority of Twitter users are aware of the privacy settings, or do many just allow anyone to read their tweets? I ask this because Twitter is viewed as a social media outlet for celebrities who allow anyone to access their latest updates. I also agree with the man in the tie, but what do you think the creators of the video were trying to say about our society, if anything?
