THE MOST POPULAR TWEET OF ALL TIME

US president tweets 'four more years' with a picture of himself hugging Michelle
Obama wins

The tweet had been shared more than 400,000 times within a few hours of being posted,
& marked as a favourite by more than 70,000





OVERALL VIEW:
This shows that Twitter has now become a global platform for not only ordinary people ,even the president and its campaigning team, It shows that huge events such as the elections have huge impacts not only in the country and in everyday lives but also online. It is significant in recognising how fast and instant social networking is with having the tweet shared 400,000 times within a few hours . Having the President tweet perhaps might give Twitter that extra boost of being acceptable and political rather than Twitter only being used to tweet peoples daily lives. Perhaps this shows that Twitter is now expanding to a wider audience with higher socio-econoimic class of A and B's .
