Today’s society has revolved heavily around the use of social media to relay information to the world. Since the invention of Facebook and Twitter, many people have created accounts on these social media sights to stay connected. A majority of celebrities have also created twitter accounts and use it as a means of relaying information to their fans. An extremely popular use for twitter recently has been for celebrities to promote their movies. Due to the extremely large database, and the free cost of having an account, this becomes a cost effective means of promoting movies. Now one may think, “what if a majority of people do not follow celebrities, how would their messages be relayed to the public?” Gratefully, twitter creators have thought of an invention to help release information through the use of ‘re-tweeting’. If someone does not follow a celebrity but their friends do, and the celebrity promotes their movie through a twitter post, the friend can re-tweet it and their friends would then see the message. This is a helpful invention that will reach a much larger network of twitter followers. Ultimately, social media is a helpful tool to keep people connected with the new releases of movies, and it will continue to be a popular promotional tool for many years to come.
