Twitter Research Individual

My research question is: Are social media networks beneficial or detrimental to social well-being?

I am very interested in this topic as I spend a lot of time on social networks and so do many of my friends and family. I want to explore whether it is really beneficial for us to be using these networking sites so often or if we should limit time spent on them or just get rid of them all together. An individual that I followed on Twitter was Brian Blatniki. I followed him because his tweets are about the effects of social media on business. Since I am majoring in business marketing and researching about social media I thought he would be a good person to follow. He is a marketer and has 20.4k tweets and almost 1,500 followers. He tweets a lot of infographics and retweets a lot from other social media accounts and tweets talking about social media and business. Through scrolling his tweets I found out a lot about how Facebook can be really beneficial for businesses and people promoting their advertisements. It can also be a great way to get the community involved and participating in philanthropic activities such as GoFundMe. Brian's Twitter account gave me further insight to the positive effects and benefits of social networking sites.
