“It’s what’s happening.”
This is how Twitter describes itself, the tagline it uses to attract people to come and enjoy interactions with others through the attention span-friendly brevity of 140 characters – and perhaps a gif or two.
But how does its users see it? Well, rather fittingly through the medium of a hashtag, we now know. Here’s nine ways to describe Twitter in four words.
1. #justTwitterthings
2. #politics
3. #socialmediawars
4. #theInternetneversleeps
5. #irony
6. #therapy
7. #connectingpeople
8. #allaboutthegifs
9. #needsanimprovement
