Twitter is a website, and app, where the user can create and account and tweet what they are thinking or want to know. The website has “featured” tweet that show what people are twitter are talking about and other news related events.
Sternberg's Triarchic Theory would fit well wih twitter. Within the theory it explains multiple types of intelligence with Practical Intelligence being a part of it. Practical intelligence is when the person applies knowledge and skills effectively to manage every day and social problems. This fits well because Twiter is a social media site, but can also be used to find out what is going on in the world.
