Twitter has always been one of the main social networking apps, competing very closely to Facebook. Although it is the most popular networking site on Wall Street right now, there are many newer apps that are slowly drawing it more and more followers. In the time that Twitter has spent fixing old technical problems, other competitors have created new and more advanced products.
Although Twitter began in America, it has found its way to become a global phenomenon. Its banking is growing overseas, therefore creating more expansion. Twitter’s “financial health” is measured by its total revenue received by certain countries. Twitter is currently planning on expanded its social and economic force even more.
Here at Baruch, social media is vital to the lives of student and club life. Also, for having a well known undergraduate business department, social media can be used to acquire a profit. One of the marketing aspects here at Baruch has aided in the development of our abundant international student and diverse national population.
It seems like social media has taken over the lives of humanity. What would we as the human race be without the ability to socialize without technology? This machine of social interaction consumes the lives of many individuals. A majority of the human race that has access to the Internet and/ or a smart phone has Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. Social networking has become one of the primary ways of communication and travel of news in our society.
The prominent Banksy has recently joined Instagram, creating an uproar in the social community. Although there are many social accounts such as Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Tumblr that have tracked the works of Banksy, the masked artist has never had any official social accounts until now. An elder man in Central Park sold his alleged work, not attracting many costumers. It was difficult for the man to sell the artwork, eventually dropping the prices down 50 percent. However the social paradox of Banksy is still a complete mystery, whether it be in the real world or cyberspace.
One thing every college student looks for when applying to schools is diversity, well, you’ve come to the right place. Baruch College has been declared the most diversified CUNY school, consisting of almost every race you could think of. But this kind of diversity does more than just make the school look good on a list, it turns it into a COMMUNITY. A set of people coming together as one. Every social event: party, club, strike, rally, meeting becomes so much more enhanced with this kind of diversity. It makes Baruch feel a little like home for everyone.
The Afro hairstyle was once worn by the youth to signify revolt and rebellion, but now it is a natural way to express yourself that has been adopted by many people including celebrities. The likes of Oprah Winfrey, Prince, and many designers are starting to sport the gravity defying hairstyle. It came a long way; from being seen as a disgrace to families and communities, to being socially accepted and a way many, many people choose to express themselves.

Social media continues to grow at an enormous rate. It seems everyone has a profile on one of the numerous social media sites. In an effort to be the premier social media site/outlet, Twitter has began to sign deals with multiple companies and networks. These partners agree to use Twitter to advertise products and give them exclusive content (highlights, special videos, etc.) Recently, Twitter added CBS, their largest partner yet, to its growing list of partners.
