TWITTER
Twitter is a platform for real-time short messaging otherwise known as micro-blogging that works over multiple networks and devices. Platform Futures trialed twitter for documenting opinions in response to a group discussion about the role of digital technology in young people’s lives.

The posts were visible ‘live’ to everyone during the session on the platform futures profile page which was projected on a large screen from a computer feed.
