This article was collaborated by a number of different people: Gilad Lotan, Erhardt Graeff, Mike Ananny, Devin Gaffney, Ian Pearce, and Danah Boyd. It was published in the International Journal of Communications in 2011. The article is about how social networking sites were used to send out information of the revolutions on Tunisia and Egypt. Twitter was used to track everything tat was happening. A pure way of receiving real information from people in the area. It is actually really amazing how fast information was spread using Twitter. This article was meant to investigate the role of Twitter in spreading information during important world events.
They worried about the reality of the information and where it originates. But it is interesting to see the differences between tweets. Most of the tweets about Tunisia and Egypt were from organizations which seem to be more trustful, grammatically correct and frequent tweets. Their conclusion and findings suggest that Journalists, bloggers, and activists are most responsible for the content on Twitter during important world events like the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt.
I like this web blog very much so much excellent info.
