Twitter is going to become much less important as a person to person (peer to peer) communication medium and instead become more of a content-delivery medium like TV, where content is broadcast to a large number of followers. It's just going to become a new way to follow celebrities, corporations, and the like.
These are the findings of research by two business school professors. Their paper "Intrinsic versus Image-Related Motivations in Social Media: Why do People Contribute to Twitter?", was published in the journal Marketing Science. The professors are Olivier Toubia of Columbia Business School and Andrew T. Stephen of the University of Pittsburgh.
In Professor Toubia’s words, “Get ready for a TV-like Twitter".
The research examined the motivations behind why everyday people, with no financial incentive, contribute to Twitter.The study examined roughly 2500 non-commercial Twitter users. In a field experiment, the profs randomly selected some of those users and, through the use of other synthetic accounts, increased the selected group's followers. At first, they noticed that as the selected group's followers increased, so did the posting rate. However, when that group reached a level of stature — a moderately large amount of followers — the posting rate declined significantly.
"Users began to realize it was harder to continue to attract more followers with their current strategy, so they slowed down.When posting activity no longer leads to additional followers, people will view Twitter as a non-evolving, static structure, like TV."
Based on the analyses, the profs predict Twitter posts by everyday people will slow down, yet celebrities and commercial users will continue to post for financial gain.

Topic: “The Effect of Social Media Marketing On Business Growth and Prosperity”
Introduction
Since early 2000s, businesses have seen the need of utilizing social media as a convenient platform to reach and engage their potential customers (Pourkhani et al., 2019). Social media has revolutionized the way businesses connect with consumers for the purpose of growing their brand. Notably, social media offers cheaper and highly accessible tools of marketing used by businesses to advance their promotional activities (Fan & Gordon, 2014). In United States, social media has highly transformed the world of business –allowing firms to innovate and improve their business plans in order to attain maximum growth and prosperity (As' ad & Alhadid, 2014). Therefore, this study explores the impact, benefit, and importance of social media to the growth and performance of businesses.
Purpose of the Study
According to Kane (2015), a researcher should have a tangible reason (s) for undertaking a particular study in any filed. Marketing is very crucial to each and every business. Marketing entails the need for companies to access the target markets and engage their potential customers. This is aimed at understanding customer needs and wants –something that is crucial in developing a product (s) which offer maximum satisfaction to consumers. Until late 90s, businesses relied on traditional mode of marketing which included radio, TV, newspaper, billboards, field-marketing, among others. Notably, these marketing channels were very expensive. However, the introduction of social media platforms in early 2000s availed cheap, accessible, and reliable means of reaching the target audiences. Consequently, there is need to explore the element of social media in order to establish its superiority and contribution in helping organizations to attain maximum growth and performance. Thus, this study seeks to establish the impact and benefit of social media platforms to organizations as far as elements of building brand awareness, increasing sales, and expanding markets are concerned.
Study Rationale
Before conducting a research, a researcher is supposed to explain clearly the importance of the study he or she is carrying out. This involves providing specific, valid, and ideally arguments in support of the research topic. The rationale of th ...

The issues of how the media affect people and what people do with the media have presented perennial and perplexing questions for communication scholars. Some of the research results in these areas are more controversial than useful. Uses and gratification studies straddle the two domains of media effects and people’s employment of the media. The field of gratification research holds great promise in the continual search for comprehensive knowledge on how and why we use the media. Drawing from a wide range of local and international literature, this paper presents a clear and concise review of the ontological, epistemological and axiological assumptions of the uses and gratifications theory.

The early days of the Church could not be characterized as easy for those who proclaimed Christ as Savior. For the most part, Roman authorities were tolerant of other religions as long as those belief systems included an homage to the Roman emperor; however, the Romans became increasingly hostile towards Christians as they refused to take a syncretic approach to worship. But despite persecution, the followers of Christ increased in number. What facilitated this growth?

6. Theories of Social Media and CultureIntroduction
While different cultures across the globe value their individual
norms, beliefs, and traditions that portray their uniqueness, the
rise of social media has linked people all over the world
regardless of their inherent demographic differences and
geographical boundaries. The Social media has greatly led to
the convergence of globalization and the compression of space
and time, and as such the world has been shrunk so that it has
become a smaller interactive field (Goodrich and de Mooij,
2016). Regardless of the size of a business, social media is
undoubtedly a critical part of a business, particularly in
enhancement of business marketing strategy. Different social
media platforms greatly help a business in connecting with the
consumers, increasing brand awareness, as well as boosting the
sales and leads of the business. Social media has been able to
boost the visibility of businesses among potential consumers at
significantly low costs. Social media is also important in
encouraging engagement between consumers and the company
through different media posts. Additionally, business have
managed to obtain support from social media because it has
successfully broken down the communication barriers with the
customers.Theories and Concepts
i. Motivations of social media for consumers
The availability of social media sites has increased the
reach for businesses to the target customers, with the more
effective communication channels. There are numerous
motivations for the consumer behavior of joining social media.
In this case, consumers are able to communicate freely to
business, which implies that social media offers the consumers
with an opportunity of voicing their opinions regarding the
products or services provided by a company (Heinonen, 2011).
In addition, consumers are attracted to media sites to obtain
more information about a company. For instance, before a
7. customer makes a purchase, they may go into a social media
network and collect information regarding how other consumers
feel about the company and its products. High availability of
information regarding a product increased the chances of the
consumer in making buying decisions (Berthon, et al., 2012).ii.
Motivations of social media for managers
The use of social media has greatly helped managers off
business in terms of how they communicate to different
stakeholder in the business such as employees and customers.
For instance, social media platforms have provided instant
messaging between the manager and employees regarding
critical business endeavors (Kellner, 2011). In addition, social
media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter have been
largely utilized by business managers to communicate regarding
new brands and developments in existing brands, which
promotes brand awareness among the consumers (Kellner,
2011). Managers have also utilized social media ads and posts
as a way of driving traffic to the websites for the companies. In
participating in different social chats, managers are able to
increase the visibility of the business, showcasing their
expertise, and getting attention from new individuals and
potential customers. As such, social media use by managers
greatly boost sales for businesses, and attribute that has the
potential of further growth considering the increased use of
social media.Theories of Social Media and Culture
One critical social media theory is the Uses and Gratifications
Theory (UGT), which seeks to describe the way humans are
actively engaged in seeking out particular media content to be
utilized in specific intentional goals and purposes (Peters et al.,
2013). This theory develops an active, as opposed to passive,
audience, which is capable of consciously examining and
evaluating the media as a way of accomplishing some specific
results. This theory is critical in the manner in which it
embodies the functional communication shift, from the
examination of what humans can do with the media, as opposed
to what the media can do to people (Peters et al., 2013).
8. The Uses and Gratifications Theory developed from the
needs and motivation theory, which asserts that humans act on
consistent with their specific hierarchy of needs and
motivations (Bernoff and Li, 2010). Researchers in the
communications field have largely agreed with the notion and
sought to perform an examination of the typologies of the needs
related to the use of media by different people from different
cultural backgrounds. Based on this, the UGT establishes a
framework that provides a clear understanding of how and when
a particular user of media becomes more or less involved in
media use, and explains the impact of the decreased or
increased involvement (Peters et al., 2013). The theory (UGT)
performs under numerous assumptions. These include: the
media users are goal-oriented and active in their media use,
media is utilized for gratification purposes, media use competes
with other ways of satisfaction of human needs, individuals
clearly understand their motives and interests in media use, and
that the audience is capable of making informed judgments on
the value of the content manifested in the media (Bernoff and
Li, 2010).
The acquired-needs theory is a theory of culture that
asserts that the particular needs of an individual acquired
overtime are greatly influenced by the life experiences of the
individual. The acquired needs are classified into three classes:
power, affiliation, and achievement (Bernoff and Li, 2010). The
needs for power of an individuals can either be institutional or
personal. In the cultural setting, the individuals who desire to
obtain power seek to direct others. However, the power need is
largely considered to be undesirable in the society. Individuals
who seek out for institutions power aim at organizing other
people’s efforts as a way of furthering the social goals
(Heinonen, 2011). High need for social power is regarded as
more effective than the need for individual power.
The high need for affiliation represents the desire of
establishing harmonious relationships among social beings.
Individuals with high need for affiliation usually adhere to the
9. norms of their group. These individuals have a high preference
of working in a manner that provides significant interactions
among individuals (Peters et al., 2013). On the other hand, the
high need for achievement aim at realizing excellence, thus
avoiding both high-risk and low-risk situations. The individuals
with the need for high achievement portray a greater preference
towards working that has a moderate success possibility. High
achievers require constant feedback as a way of effectively
monitoring how their achievements are progressing, and they
largely prefer working with other high achievers of alone
(Peters et al., 2013).
The Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DOI) describe the
way new ideas and advancements have been transferred within
the society (Ngai, Tao and Moon, 2015). Based on this theory,
humans have adopted the social media behavior, which can be
explained through five perceived characteristics, which are
complexity, observability, trialability, compatibility, and
relative advantage (Ngai, Tao and Moon, 2015). As such, the
social networking across the globe has been enhanced through
communication and information technology, which is largely
depended on continuous participation of the users. The diffusion
of social media has also influenced the individual cultures, and
has significantly promoted the understanding and
interconnectedness between consumers and companies.Social
Media in Singapore
As noted earlier, Singapore is composed of a multicultural
society that has embraced cultural and racial diversity. The
country is known for its unique identity that acknowledges
different traditions, but embraces the change associated with the
traditions. Currently, Singapore is considered to be a hub that
hosts many international brands (Kellner, 2011). Notably,
Singapore has been on the forefront of embracing both
economic and technological advances, and has consistently
aligned itself with the current regional and global news, trends,
and culture (Kellner, 2011). The recent increase in the use of
social media across the globe has tremendously influenced and
10. reshaped the manner in which the citizens of Singapore
collaborate, work, and consume information, particularly within
the sectors such as communications and marketing (Mathews et
al., 2016).
Social media giants such as Facebook and WhatsApp have
remained to be commonly utilized social media platforms in
Singapore, and they have greatly helped consumers and
businesses regarding how they access and sell products
(Heinonen, 2011). Statistics indicate that the country has over
2.4 million users every day. Due this attribute, consumers and
businesses in the country have utilized social media sites such
as Facebook and Twitter, which has proved to be critical in
improving company brands in the saturated and competitive
marketplace (Trainor et al., 2014). Because the country
embraces change and is always on the forefront of encouraging
use of technologies, businesses have greatly embraced
diversification in the outreach in social media platforms, with
Instagram, LinkedIn, as well as other mobile messaging
application on the rise (Rialp-Criado and Rialp-Criado, 2018).
The country is expected to witness more brands engaging in use
of mobile messaging platforms as a way of connecting with
customers beyond the use of common platforms such as Twitter
and Facebook.Critical Evaluation of Cultural Theories and
Concepts of Social Media in Singapore
Based on the discussed theories of social media and
culture, it is clear that social media communities are currently
benefiting from decline in costs that were associated with
traditional brand communities. The Uses and Gratifications
Theory (UGT) has been applicable in Singapore as it has
influenced the behavior of consumers and businesses in terms of
obtaining information that makes them actively engaged in
seeking out particular media that is consistent with their goals
and purposes. In this regard, it is easier for businesses to make
connections with their customers without bothering about the
geography. Through this manner, different cultures have been
11. able to interact, where strangers are able to meet and engage in
constructive economic, social, and cultural interactions
(Kellner, 2011). This has been a great motivation for consumers
to use social media.
The acquired needs theory is a theory of culture that
asserts that the particular needs of an individual acquired
overtime are greatly influenced by the life experiences of the
individual. The needs and wants of Singaporeans are
dramatically changing with the general dynamism experienced
in the world. With technological advancements, different
companies have closed down physical offices and have moved
to online stores, which requires consumers to use online
platforms such as social media to access information and make
purchase of the products or services needed (Rialp-Criado and
Rialp-Criado, 2018). This is an indicated that the consumers in
Singapore are left with no choice but move with the time and
join online platforms and social media so that they can
effectively fulfil their various needs. This attribute makes the
acquired needs a critical theory that explains the behavior of
Singaporean consumers.
The Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DOI) is also relevant
in Singapore, as both businesses and consumers in the country
have tremendously embraced the new ideas and advancements
are associated with the recent technological advancements,
particularly in communication media (Ngai, Tao and Moon,
2015). With more than 60 percent of the Singaporean citizens
using social media, it is clear that the diffusion of innovation
from other countries such as United States has greatly impacts
the Singaporean citizens (Okazaki and Taylor, 2013) With more
people using social media, businesses have taken that advantage
to communicate with their consumers regarding their products
and services. This has been advantageous as the
interconnectedness between customers and business has been
largely enhanced. In addition, the diffusion of innovation that
has resulted in social media in Singapore has contributed to
decrease in cultural gap because consumers have been able to
12. interact with other from diverse cultural backgrounds as they
share information about various products (Heinonen, 2011).
As noted earlier, social media has been an integral part of
Singaporeans because it has promoted interdependence and
interconnectedness of the culturally diverse nation. In this
regard, social media has been utilized as a social interaction
tool whereby people have communicated and engaged with
information that has been transferred across the Internet
(Heinonen, 2011). The communication that has been endeavored
through different online contexts has significantly promoted
interactive dialogues, which have created an understanding of
numerous perspectives. As such, different individuals,
businesses, and companies have been granted the opportunity of
expressing their opinions and product offerings to the other
individuals and the general public (Heinonen, 2011). In
addition, social media platforms have helped individuals and
companies to engage in constructive dialogue and conversations
that have promoted the wellbeing of the society.
Implications
The social networking sites in Singapore have allowed
individuals and businesses to develop profiles, which facilitate
sharing connections and interaction with others in the systems.
Based on this attribute, the Small and Medium-Sized
Enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore has greatly benefited as they
are able to increase their customer base through spreading
awareness to potential consumers through social platforms that
have attracted massive users in Singapore (Okazaki and Taylor,
2013). In this regard, the social media is bound to greatly
promote exchange of messages between individuals and SMEs,
not only in the country, but elsewhere (Hoffman and Novak,
2012). As such, SMEs will engage in an intercultural dialogue
that will critically identify the specific tastes and preferences of
the consumers based on their cultural orientations (Samuel
Craig and Douglas, 2006). With increase in social media, the
businesses in Singapore will gain a great competitive advantage
owing to the fact the Singapore hosts many social media users.
13. As a result, the businesses will experience increased
productivity, revenue, and profitability (Ngai, Tao and Moon,
2015). In addition, the businesses will utilize the social media
to advertise their products and brands at very low costs, thus
boosting their sustainability amid increased competition in the
globalized market (Okazaki and Taylor, 2013).Areas of Further
Research
From the analysis of this paper, it is evident that social
media has played an integral role in influencing consumer
behaviors and those of businesses in equal measures. Businesses
have strived to undertake marketing through social media, while
consumers obtain information regarding products and services
offered by companies through the sites. However, much of the
existing research has focused role of social media on strategic
marketing. Future research in the field needs to focus on the
relationship between use of social media and intercultural
adaptation. There is also need to perform research on how
different theories of social media and culture influence the
political climate in Singapore.
It is recommended that Singapore needs more tremendous
embracement of technological advancements of social media use
and cultural diversity. As such, many individuals and businesses
in the country will greatly use social media in business
endeavors, with customers able to gain awareness regarding the
product offering of companies and SMEs.
