Creativity

New media sparks one's creative mind and inspires people to express themselves. It also invites others to share their opinions about other people's creativity or ideas. Feedback like so can either be positive or negative, depending on how the person feels towards something. With the Internet nowadays, it's hard to avoid negative feedback. However, good feedback and suggestions can help people improve on themselves and grow to be something better.

In the New York Times article, Twitter Serves Up Ideas From Its Followers, Miller talks about how Twitter listens to their users' opinions and feedback about the platform to see what the company can improve on. Twitter allows for user feedback because they want to cater to what users like since they're the ones using the platform. This act is like YouTube and how YouTube creators asks their viewers to leave video suggestions down below on what the viewers themselves would like to watch. An idea brought up by a Twitter user was the use of hashtags. At first tech people were skeptical about it because they felt that only "nerds" would understand the reference, but soon other companies caught on to the ease of hashtags that allow one to be able to search similar past posts. Another suggestion by a Twitter user was Lists. This would allow one to be able to accumulate all the tweets of other users.

Ideas suggested by users can help improve the platform and make everyone happy at the same time. Who knew user feedback could be so powerful? (Hint: Twitter!)
