The best audience for this media to reach is teenagers, young adults, and middle-age adults. It is a free media and that you can tweet somebody that just tweeted what you just tweeted. One of Twitter’s goals is to boost engagement among Twitter followers.

Based on the information provided to you about the target markets for the Western Marketing Program,

I think that high school and transfer students would be effectively reached by Twitter because Twitter wants to appeal to the younger and more active people on social media.

I think the most effective type of message is an informing message because you want to them about what it is about and what features it comes with.

I show them how many characters’ tweets there are. You can jump into timely conversations. You can also show them how to follow people on Twitter.

I learned about Twitter is that it is not more effective for visual content.

I think the biggest misconception about Twitter is that it needs more characters to be available to the person that is tweeting something.
