Their LinkedIn page starts out with a nice about me section at the beginning that would give a customer a lot of knowledge about who they are and what they do exactly. Along with this, they have a link to take you to their site and information on their industry, size, headquarters, and when they were founded. Just like on twitter, on LinkedIn they have recent updates that allow one to click on links about recent news that takes one to their blog on their website. One example under their recent updates section is, “Frequently Asked Questions on RFID.” If one were to click on this it would take them to Pepperl+Fuchs website where they could read an article post on their blog about questions on RFID. This would be beneficial to a consumer of Pepperl+Fuchs that had questions about RFID or trouble using them.

Proclaimed as the hottest company since Google and Facebook, Twitter introduced a revolutionary micro-blogging service in 2006 that allowed users to spread and share short messages of 140 characters (“tweets”) with friends and strangers subscribing to follow their communication flow (as so called “followers”) in order to find out what is happening right now from any point of the globe.

Now and days people do not write or call each other they just go on social media, such as Twitter, to see what their friends and family are up to over the holidays. According to google trends, during the time span of December 28 to January 3 of 2014 to 2015, the amount of people who visited the online site, not including the app itself, increased by 5%. Twitter is a connector according to The Tipping Point because “connectors are social glue: they spread it” (Gladwell 71). Connectors are people or things that help spread the word about something. Twitter also trends because it can help social activists get their word out about their activism. For example, Will.i.am is a social activist has a twitter account to get is word out about his fundraiser I.am.Angel Foundation to help get the education kids need that are unfortunate to have it. According to the official Twitter site it is stating that they will continue to help Twitter be more popular in the social media era. It states that to them it makes sense that will continue to know what is increasingly popular and know what is important in “news organizations, retailers, first responders, government entities and more” (Kolb).

Facebook and Twitter have become one of the biggest social media use by Americans. Through Facebook people can share their life experience. In reality life experiences are lost through Facebook because the person posting is not living the experience with his or her friends. Twitter is use to post little messages called tweets that can only be up to 140 letters. Tweets express how someone feels or what they are doing. Twitter
Twitter one of the most popular social networking sites. Both personal and corporate users enjoy twittering to engage in information-sharing. It has social as well as commercial utility. However, as is also the case with Facebook, Twitter is still striving to make its business model profitable as well as generate user traffic. Advertisers and marketers are interested in Twitter's ability to provide data about potential customers as well as its ability to expose users to advertising. However, there have been a number of concerns regarding the monetization of Twitter. Twitter's potential for 'data-mining' is alarming to many users. "By virtue of having a large number of users, Twitter also possessed such a database of personal information, as well as a large archive of personal messages" (Privacy issues and monetizing Twitter, 2011, Richard Ivey School of Business: 6).
It began as “a system where you could send a text to one number and it would be broadcasted out to all of your friends…” Then five months after Twitter’s launch, an earthquake in San Francisco happened- except this earthquake had people who were experiencing it using Twitter to share their stories, which led to another group of people who heard about the earthquake using Twitter to get information from a place they were not in. These were not the only groups of people using Twitter during the earthquake, but they are the best example of interpretative flexibility. Two groups of people both using the same app, but for one group it’s a means of sharing information and for another it was about collecting that information—and that right there was the basis of Twitter. Closure took hold for a while because even though the app was still used to communicate with friends, it became more of an information sharing platform than it used to be. Then, more groups joined and the use of Twitter changed again. The rise of social media created a new way to interact and soon led groups of investors, celebrities, politicians, scientists, and even soccer moms to use the site to network, advertise products, educate themselves, and start important conversations. Twitter was no longer just a place to trade information, it became a business. And as newer generations of people begin to download Twitter, it will change again. Currently, the majority of Twitter users are shaping this application by using it as a political platform to share, stop, and acknowledge injustice. Yet, just a year ago, it was more often than not a place where people got their first reports of natural disasters, sport scores, celebrity deaths, and spoilers of popular television shows. It was not a place where you would see people from all types of different groups fired up over politics and state of the world in the extent as it seen today. And yes, Twitter
To the average technologically advanced American, Twitter is one of the most visited social media sites. From a popularity contest standpoint, Twitter would be amongst the top winners; however, when evaluating Twitter from a business analytical aspect it might not be a lucrative business venture. The attractive attribute to Twitter Inc. is the fact the sites does not make any of its users pay. Twitter is designed to allow users to voice multiple thoughts, ideas, or share different information amongst the site’s visitor. Unlike Facebook, Twitters does not have multi-million dollar corporations using the site on a regular basis to market more potential users. Therefore, with a low revenue base and poor strategic development implementation
