2) Verified accounts let users know which celebrity profiles are legitimate

3) Equally accessible on desktop and mobile

Con’s:

1) Limited to 140 characters

2) Reduced compatability with Instagram

Social Network Review:

Twitter is a social network comprised completely of status updates.  Because of its simplicity it is a useful tool to keep in touch with close friends. It is a good tool to use to archive thoughts, ideas, links, and photos.  Twitter is one of the few social networks that allows adult content.  It is an important tool in sharing viral ideas and connecting people and brands.
