For my project I plan to do an analysis of Twitter.  Twitter has become one of the fastest channels that news is communicated through today. Previously the public had to wait for official reports to be released in newspapers and even online news sources however, now major events are "Tweeted" almost instantaneously by witnesses. With the public becoming increasingly more connected through the internet information is exchanged more freely but an increasing dependence is seen with users and the internet. In my analysis I will discuss the positive and negatives effects Twitter has on information exchange and peoples dependence on the internet as a news source.
