New media technologies such as
social media foster users to come up with new ideas. One example of this as
seen in the article by Claire Cain Miller in the New York Times states that
companies have been monitoring twitter through their followers to come up with
new products or improve their existing product or service, even twitter does
this. In the article it states that an early twitter user by the name of Chris
Messina came up with the hash tag symbol to mark conversations to have them
linked to a certain topic. Twitter replied that many people would not
understand it but it is now part of twitter and used by many users to tag
certain posts for events that they are tweeting about. Ideas like Messina’s are
creative and help the companies to better their products or services while
using new media technology.
