by many as “a public sphere,” Twitter has indeed enabled social and 
political conversations, empowering diverse voices from networked 
societies that hold government accountable and encourage activities that 
promises several benefits in business, politics, education, health, and 
commerce among others.

This collection of essays takes a difference approach to describing the 
functions and roles of Twitter in almost all human affairs. In examining 
the various ideas and opinions about Twitter and its diverse and complex 
userbase, this volume not only describes the uses and perspectives but 
also introduces cutting-edge scientific research techniques for studying 
Twitter. The uses of Twitter in some professional and academic 
disciplines such as journalism, teaching and learning, creative writing, 
campaigning, sports, and business are carefully explained.

This volume’s international authorship includes experts, professionals, 
and emerging scholars from various disciplines, and they apply different 
methods and approaches to studying Twitter as a strong and vibrant 
platform of social media. This book will be very helpful as a handbook 
to students, scholars, and professionals in communication, journalism, 
education, politics, linguistics, and social media studies.
