About this ebook
Inside Twitter offers a deep dive into how a simple microblogging service evolved into a global platform shaping public discourse and social movements. The book explores Twitter's architecture of immediacy, highlighting how features like the 280-character limit and hashtags have revolutionized information dissemination and fostered online communities. It further examines Twitter's impact on political communication, including its use by activists and governments, while also addressing the ethical considerations and challenges related to misinformation. The book uniquely connects Twitter's technical design with its social impact, moving beyond a simple analysis of the platform as a neutral tool. It delves into how design features shape user behavior and influence information flow. Starting with Twitter's origins and technological evolution, the book progresses to examine hashtag communities and their role in amplifying voices or creating echo chambers. A significant portion is dedicated to Twitter's influence on political activism and the complexities of online discourse, including debates over free speech and censorship.
