Twitter Starts Selling Political Ads

OK My Current Event Is About how twitter is expanding their horizons by selling political Ads. Meaning that the President,Mayer,vice president Can pretty much post there political ads on twitter. My personal opinion is that this is a good way for the people to see Agree & disagree on political stand points. I like the idea because sooner or later people will be voting & doing other political activities. Twitter is trying to keep up with Facebook because face book already has political views & politicians doing numerous things to support their campaigns & their political Views. Some people may not agree with this decision that twitter is making to add this feature & on top of that some do not want to say & or State their political views."Twitter, which began allowing companies to advertise on the platform more than a year ago, expects to expand the program in the coming weeks to allow more candidates and political groups to join as it builds a new political advertising sales team in Washington. Peter Greenberger, who managed Google’s first political sales team, will lead the new effort for Twitter. Eighty-five senators, 360 House members, 42 governors and all of the major presidential candidates now have Twitter accounts". This program will also allow candidates& political committees to pay for their twitter accounts to show up in list of accounts their users might want to follow.

  1. I was interested in the article that you wrote on. It seems that twitter is trying to get their ranks up by advertising, while facebook is busy changing their appearance. It makes you wonder if twitter isn't the top social network. A growth area that I have is to tweak your grammar marks and spelling. Overall though, I understood it and learned something, which is always a great thing.
