Q2: How is Twitter a source to generously give to the worldwide community?
A2: Twitter is a way for you as the user to give feedback and information to the community that is seeking help. It’s not just a place to grab information from out of the sky. It’s also a way to donate your information; which may enlighten others that seek help. If everyone is taking and no one is giving; then there will be no information to receive. We all need feedback and resources from others to receive valuable knowledge on hand.
