8. Twitter
跟Facebook一樣,推特改變了人們在數字時代的生活方式。
Often seen as Facebook's chief competitor, Twitter is really something different -- a sort of global instant-messaging system. It is used every second to alert huge audiences to everything from revolutions to interesting Web posts, or just to offer opinions on almost anything -- as long as they fit in 140 characters. Like Facebook, it has changed the way people live digitally.
推特通常被視為Facebook的頭號競爭對手,它確實與眾不同——有點像一個全球即時通訊系統。每一秒都有人使用推特向廣大聽眾發送各種各樣的信息,從革命消息到有趣的網站帖子,或者只是對任何事發表看法,但是長度不超過140個字符。與Facebook一樣,推特也改變了人們的數字生活。
