Twitter is being use for many different purposes from educations, for examples: The University of Vienna, Austria, used Twitter as an evaluation platform for student ratings. Every student had to send a tweet after each course unit with feedback to the teacher
During emergencies, for example: During the 2008 Mumbai attacks eyewitnesses sent an estimated 80 tweets every 5 seconds. CNN called this "the day that social media appeared to come of age" since many different groups made significant use of Twitter to gather news and coordinate responses.
Use in protest and politics, for example: In June 2009, following allegations of fraud in the Iranian presidential election, protesters used Twitter as a rallying tool and as a method of communication with the outside world after the government blocked several other modes of communication.
These is just some of the usage of twitter, there are still many different purposes of twitter from individuals, organizational to corporate purposes.
