My Thoughts About Twitter

Twitter is a very active and fast pace social media website. Twitter is my personal favorite social media account. After that I would say Instagram, only because I like posting pictures. Whenever I want to laugh I open up my Twitter app and start scrolling through my feed. My tweets have gone viral before. I had a time where I tweeted something that I seen in a Walgreens and everyone retweeted it. I had 1,000 retweets on it. However, my account that I went viral on is now suspended.

They suspended my account because when I first joined Twitter I was only 12 years old. In the guidelines that make it known that you have to be 13 years and older. Back in December I tried changing my birth year to the correct year. Twitter then sent me a message saying that my account will be temporary suspended until they investigate. So now I am using a new page that I recently created, and I don't have as nearly as many followers as I did before.

I joined Twitter 3 years after it launched in July 2006. There is always something new that I learn on Twitter. It is also good to get news updates from time to time. It's interesting to see celebrities thoughts and opinions when they tweet. Donald Trump only tweets to get on people's nerves. I don't pay him any attention. I would never follow him either. I follow Nicki Minaj, Obama, Michelle Obama. I admire all of them in some kind of way.

A church is restricting children from using the computers in the library due to people watching porn

Brooke Brady

Members of the Bellbuckle Interfaith Church are demanding that only adults are to use the computers in the Sunbright City Library.

 People have been using the computers to view porn. They are going to monitor what the adults watch. One of the founders of the group had a lot to say about the situation.

According to Mary Edith Ricks, she doesn't want her tax money to provide for pornography. She is one of the Christian members of the church, and feels strongly about this. As she was speaking to the audience about her protest, the audience cheered and agreed with her.

One person in the audience gave her a hard time. Someone asked a question about First Amendment rights and she shut the question down. The City Council and the library will have board meetings about the issue. Mary Edit Ricks wants to make sure that the members of the group attend.

About Linkedin

Linkedin is a website used to network and make connections regarding internships and jobs. It gives people the opportunity to connect and see what experience others have. Professors, students, and people that work corporate jobs use Linkedin. It's popular because it is a good way for people to find internships. I like how on Linkedin it gives you suggestions of people that you may know. I will try to connect with more people on my account. Networking is very imperative when you are in the communications field and looking for opportunities.

Many people that attend a university should have a profile on Linkedin. There are a lot of companies that are always looking to hire new people. Internships are very popular around the spring semester, because usually students want internships the following summer.
