A Little Birdy Told me..

Twitter! We all use it and love it. But I'm going to look at if sharing everything really is a good thing, and if it can just be a plain old trouble maker.
What makes Twitter so popular? It's clear that some people like to get their opinions across/heard to everyone, and like to keep people up to date on what they are doing, and when you now have the option to share your thoughts and feelings to millions of people across the globe, why not? with a click of a button you could be chin wagging your way through your thoughts of the latest Dark Knight movie, or how Jennifer Anniston never seems to lose her beauty..
It's also good for keeping your family and friends close, with the option to comment on their 'tweets' it makes it very easy to keep in touch, arrange an outing and with the use of private messaging, keep your conversations private for those who isn't a fan of public conversations! 
But some events have got me wondering whether social networking sites is such a good thing.. 
Remember Ryan Giggs' affair with Imogen back in May 2011? It was Twitter that started it all, with anonymous accounts all tweeting about the affair where local media could not, due to a 'superinjunction'. The company was actually sued for the tweets and the word got out about Giggs' affair. Is it our right to get so involved with other peoples lives? Do we take what people say on the internet too literally or do we just love the anonymity too much to resist? Comment your thoughts below!
