For this assignment I wanted to choose a form of media that I currently use. One of the first things that popped into my mind was Twitter. While researching and looking through various sites I came across a new event that will happen in the spring. Currently, Twitter has been working to make a variety of new languages available for their members to use. One of the problems were languages that read from right to left such as Arabic and Hebrew. By working at their translation center Twitter is finding a way for the hashtags to read correctly in all languages. I found this article interesting because it shows just how diversified our mass mediums and social networking sites are becoming. Making Twitter available to a variety of languages and cultures is an important advancement for their site and I felt that it was worthy for me to post about.
