Introduction
Twitter is an American online news and social networking service on which users post and
interact with microblogs known as Tweets, Tweets are restricted to 140 characters. It was
launched in July 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, and Evan Williams. Twitter Inc. is based
in San Francisco, California, has more than 25 offices and 3372 employees around the world.
In the past few years, Twitter has achieved tremendous success. As one of the three most
popular social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), it has evidently found the path
to its user, more than 200 million users and 155 million posted messages a day, Twitter has
become a vast storehouse of content, i.e. information and knowledge.
Twitter is also being used for marketing and customer service purposes as twitter gives you
access to a real-time update of what's going on in your industry and around the world. Twitter
is really one of the lowest barriers of entry to connect with potential customers, brand
advocates and influencers. Twitter is now stepping up to global television. Microblogging is
the posting of very short entries or updates on a blog or social networking site, typically via a
cellular phone. Twitter allows its users to keep their friends and family informed of their
current status.

Organization Structure & People


In Twitter, top management is divided their roles department wise. Top management mostly
have Directors, CEO, COO, CFO, VP of Marketing, Managing director, chairman of board.
Twitter Focusing on growth while maintaining an open platform demands a skilled executive
team that embraces a challenge. It also requires a board of directors that promotes our
mission as well as protects our financial goals. At Twitter, we are fortunate to have both.
Twitter has many departments and each department working independent. Every department
is assigned to one person who is responsible for taking care of department.
Case Background
In the past few years, Twitter has achieved tremendous success. Twitter is a free online
microblogging service having more than 200 million users and 155 million posted messages a
day, Twitter has become a vast storehouse of content, i.e. information and knowledge. Such a
large amount of data that can be accessed on Twitter requires a structure in order to help users
find the information they need.
Twitter is a very simple tool which does not offer the possibility of structuralizing this vast
amount of data, but it allows users and third parties to create different applications that can
help structuralize the content. The most popular ways of structuralizing the content on
Twitter are the community conventions: the hashtags (#) and the @ symbol, which pull
together all the tweets with these symbols. The hashtags mark specific topics and the @
symbol helps to gather all the tweets a person was mentioned in. Twitter has a very simple
and straight-forward nature; it does not offer many different ways of structuralizing
information but it allows others to create interesting applications.
Twitter is also being used for marketing and customer service purposes as twitter gives you
access to a real-time update of what's going on in your industry and around the world. Twitter
is really one of the lowest barriers of entry to connect with potential customers, brand
advocates and influencers. It highlights the "instant" information delivery, the feature
includes promoted tweets for brands, rewards quantity instead of the quality of the
information. Which makes difficult to structure the data in order to provide relevant
information to a consumer.

ORGANIZATION LIFE CYCLE


There are a lot of exciting times to be a marketer nowadays. We are living in an era where the
amount of mediums available to us has never been larger, whereas metrics and analytics tell
us what works and what doesn’t, typically in real time.
Twitter is a marketer’s dream tool. Real-time, real individuals, spewing forth details
regarding what they like, do not like, and what matters to them. It’s seen large uptake since its
origin in 2006 with some help from Barry, Ashton, and CNN. With over 44 million new
guests per month and counting, the audience is growing, and corporations and organizations
recognize that they need to have interaction or be left behind.
Growth stage is simple to predict. Popular things become a lot of popular and other
People adept at an increasing rate. All the hype, a glamour that is piled on Twitter have
enabled it to remain within the news and grow exponentially, however, it'll eventually taper
off the subsequent few years. It’s what happens next, the Maturity part that's a lot of
fascinating.
As the market matures and a lot of significant information is collected, value creation and
measurement will become the key social media trends, not simply what tools your company
is utilizing.
Twitter’s Quarterly Net Income

It took Twitter quite a decade to become profitable, however currently it looks like those
profits are here to remain. Twitter reported its fourth straight profitable quarter in 2018. In the
past four quarters, Twitter’s net income is simply over $1 billion. Thus, the company is in
growth phase.
Porter’s Five Forces Analysis of Twitter

Porter’s five forces model delves into the strategic assessment capabilities of the
organizations to ensure better life cycles in the environment. Twitter is one of the top 10
social media websites.
These are the detailed Porter Five Forces Analysis:
Competitive Rivalry – High
Social media industry now a days has been highly competitive with the rise of many new
players such as Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace etc. However, most of these industry fail to
reach the fan base of Twitter due to high entry barriers of the industry. The Social media
industry is continuously going under technical advancements and addition of new features to
attract users. The player who fails to innovate or add new features gets kicked out of the
industry. Small players that are able to make an entry are generally acquired by the giants.
Twitter is facing a strong competitive rivalry.

Threats of New Entrants – Low


Social media companies relies on its level of innovation, a number of users, and its age.
Twitter and existing players have attained extensive technology, made their websites and
applications highly innovative attracting the masses towards them. Twitter has developed a
brand image and loyalty. The success of new entrants is very difficult and making this threat
very low for Twitter.
Bargaining Power of Buyers – High
In Twitter case, the bargaining power of buyers in this industry consider high This is because
others social networking site such as Facebook, WhatsApp, WeChat, Instagram, and Google
are also provided similar features such as sharing video, and photos, view the latest news and
information with Twitter to their customers. Therefore, the switching cost for users to use
other social networking site is relatively low to Twitter, the possibility of switching to other
social networking site is high because all these application can be downloaded for free, it also
consider easy to use and understand.
The buyers of Twitter are different business and marketers who run advertisements on Twitter
by paying Twitter. Since there are other social media players in the market that are also
running through funds from such advertisements, Twitter is in no position to attempt to raise
advertisement prices in an attempt to gain greater revenue. Also buyers have low switching
cost thus, buyers hold a strong buying power over it.
Bargaining Power of Suppliers – Low
The bargaining power of suppliers in this industry consider low. This is because Twitters’
investors injected a total of $155 million to Twitter in 2009. Some of the investors included
Institutional Venture Partners, Benchmarks Capital, Union Square Ventures, Spark Capital,
Digital Garage, Bezos Expeditions and Insight Venture Partners, and others.
Twitter has more power to reject and able to continuing improve their products and services
provided to their customers without any restriction from the suppliers.

Threats of Substitutes – High


There are larger number of substitutes in the social media industry. There include Facebook,
Instagram, Google etc. All are competing to increase the number of users on their platform
and increase in their market share. Twitter offers a limit of 140 characters per Tweet, its
substitutes are at an advantage as none of them hold this limit. This makes the threat of
Substitutes for Twitter very high.
Chaos Theory
Chaos Theory studies the effect of complex systems, those that are nonlinear and subject to
many variables. Chaos is a state of primal emptiness which is governed by simple and precise
laws, but where the outcome is unpredictable and may change greatly with slight variations in
starting conditions. Social networking sties like Twitter, FB, are variable in nature. Because
of that it is termed as the ‘butterfly effect’ as one small action can create a dynamic and
increasing change in any system. For instance you create a post on any subject Twitter,
which comment could grow so many new added comments it is featured and becomes a
trending topic.
People take advantage of Chaos Theory and become the social media butterfly by using
twitter as Search out influential people in your niche by using Twitter Search, Re-post good
posts, especially those by influential people and become a trusted source of great information.

MACRO ECONOMICS THEORY


This segment refers to the nature and direction of the economy in which a firm competes or
may compete. Generally, a firm will choose to compete in a relatively stable economies with
strong growth potential. There is a strong intensity of rivalry among Twitter and Google or
Facebook, all of these social networking site are competing in America, which is a country
with a relatively stable economies and have a strong growth potential.
According to this theory, contemporary organization consider IT as a factor of production.
Twitter uses internet and technical equipment in their plant. Twitter ensures better monitoring
and controlling in their application to ensure that consumer will not get any issues later.
RESOURCE BASED VIEW
The field is related to strategic management. In RBV it is argued that organisations garner the
competitive advantage through strategic use of their internal resources and by understanding
changes in the external environment. The competitive advantage is related to “cost
leadership” and differentiation through setting new standards for its products and services, to
gain access to critical law material, locations production capacity and customers.
Twitter differentiate their product by regular innovation, Twitter is fast-paced, concise, and
easy way to get connected to the audience. Companies with larger market capital are more
likely to adopt Twitter for static advertising, a one-way communication approach, and direct
interaction with consumers, a two-way communication approach. Companies with smaller
market capital that adopt Twitter for marketing communication appear to disseminate more
corporate promotion information, a static advertising approach. Overall, our results indicate
that the level of a company's access to resources can influence their adoption of a new
technology and the manner in which it is used.

PROCEDURE IN TALLY
The following process is followed to generate balance sheet in Tally (ERP 9):

 Created a new company with name TWITTER

 We have entered values in rupees, while preparing the balance sheet and the

 In the first step, we have created all the ledgers related to balance sheet and also put
the respective opening values of the balance sheet. As we have taken the financial
year 2017-18, we have inserted the closing balance of 2017-18 in the ledgers.

 After creation of opening balance sheet, we have created ledgers pertaining to the
profit and loss account. We need to create these ledgers with no values inserted (i.e.
no initial values).

 We have generated payment and receipt vouchers related to the profit and loss account
as on 31st March 2018.

 Then ‘period’ was adjusted to produce final balance sheet. Both final balance sheet for
2017-2018 and profit and loss account was made into Excel sheet using ‘Export’
option in Tally.
 Other assets were considered as written under the head current assets

Cybernetics more broadly encompasses the study of how systems regulate themselves and take
action toward goals based on feedback from the environment. These systems are not just
computational; they include biological (maintaining body temperature), mechanical
(governing the speed of an engine), social (managing a large workforce), and economic
(regulating a national economy) systems [1]. In addition to reaching goals, AI and cybernetics
both consider how systems can learn; however, while AI considers using stored
representations as a means of acting intelligently, cybernetics focuses on grounded and
situated behaviors that express intelligence and learning based on feedback and interaction
[2].
Social content recommendation has risen to a new dimen-
sion with the advent of microblogging platforms like Twit-
ter, FriendFeed, Dailybooth, and Tumblr. As the number of
people using such platforms are increasing on a daily basis,
there is a rapid growth in the amount of data and informa-
tion gathered using such microblogs. Although, this uproar
of data provides us with a “gold-mine” of real-world infor-
mation, it is not without it’s side effects; it has lead to a major
problem called the information overload (Borgs et al. 2010).
The most critical problem that branches out from the infor-
mation overload is the difficulty in organizing the timeline of
users. For example, an active twitterer follows 80 users on an
average, and receives over 1000 tweets (Qu and Liu 2011);

due to such an incessant flooding of user-timeline, many
important and interesting tweets remain unnoticed by the
users. Furthermore, this results in an increase of irrelevant
and personal tweets that are not worth reading. Researchers
have tackled the problem of information overload from var-
ious different perspectives such as organizing trending top-
ics in user’s timeline, URL recommendations for twitterers,
recommending followers and tweets (Bernstein et al. 2010;
Abel et al. 2011; Armentano, Godoy, and Amandi 2012;
Hannon, Bennett, and Smyth 2010). A new direction of re-
search that is proposed in this paper is the development of
personalized recommendation based on social lists. Lists
serve a dual purpose in various social networks. First, they
serve as a newsletter or a daily-digest for users who seek
unified source of information. Second, they act as topical-
hubs that unite users who share similar interests. Originally
lists were introduced by Twitter in 2009; however, they have
been adopted by various social networking websites in dif-
ferent forms under different names. For instance, Google+
terms lists as social circles and Facebook provides a feature
called community pages. In general, every list has a cura-
tor who creates the list and makes it as private or public.
Other users can freely subscribe to such public lists, while
private lists are restricted to the owner’s approval. Lists are
one of the strongest indicators of topical homophily (Kang
and Lerman 2012). Consequently, they can be an excellent
tool to smoothen the problem of information overload.
Recommending lists is a challenging task because most
users create them for grouping friends or other users whom
they find interesting. Such lists that are created for personal
convenience do not gain the attention of people. This im-
plies that most of them do not have any subscribers. Further-
more, list names are not unique; there can be thousands of
lists with similar (or even same) names (Kim, Jo, and Moon
2010). This further exacerbates the problem of finding gen-
uine, authoritative and topically relevant set of lists.
In this paper, we propose two recommendation models
that recommend lists for Twitter users based on their per-
sonalized interest. Our first model, called the ListRec,
captures and models the users’ interest based on a combina-
tion of content, network and trendiness based measures. For
users with rich tweet history, we measure their interests us-
ing the topics derived from their tweets. Unlike the existing
studies, we view the twitterer’s interest as a temporally vary-
ing feature and exploit this variation using an exhaustive set
of streaming tweets to dynamically model the users’ inter-
est. For users with sparse tweet history, we project the user
space into a followee space and utilize the followee’s list
subscriptions to indirectly measure the interest of the users.
We also add a new trend based score that measures the pop-
ularity of lists in the Twitter domain. The final score is then
modeled as a linear combination of these three individual
scores (based on content, network, and popularity) to effec-
tively measure the interests of the users and personalize list
recommendation. The coefficients in this linear combination
are estimated using a cyclic ridge regression estimation ap-
proach. Our experimental results show that the ListRec
outperforms other competing state of the art methods. Our
second model is the LIST-PAGERANK which will recom-
mend lists that are popular and are more (topically) authori-
tative than the lists that are currently subscribed by the users.
To the best of our knowledge, there are no studies that use
Twitter lists for personalized recommendation. We summa-
rize the major contributions of this paper as follows:
a. We propose a recommendation framework called
ListRec that recommends Twitter lists based on the
personalized interest of twitterers. Unlike the existing
studies that recommend external information like news
articles and blogs, our work is purely domain-specific.
b. The interests of users are modeled using a combination of
weighting schemes: (a) a content based scheme that mod-
els the users’ interest based on temporally varying top-
ics; (b) a network based scheme that uses the followee-
network of the users to overcome the tweet sparsity; and
(c) a trendiness based scheme that is based on the popu-
larity of the lists.
c. We propose a LIST-PAGERANK based algorithm that
leverages the network structure of Twitter lists to recom-
mend authoritative lists that match the topical interest of
the users.
The rest of this paper is organized as follows. We begin by
describing the modeling of ListRec in Section 2. Section 3
describes the creation of the list network and formulation of
the LIST-PAGERANK. Section 4 will show the results of our
experiments and explain the data collection methodology.
Section 5 discusses the related work on this topic. Finally,
the conclusions obtained through this study are presented in

The Strengths and Weaknesses of Twitter


Strengths:
Following

Twitter is just ideal for following interesting people or topics. Users enjoy following people
they don’t know personally, and they often look at hashtags to keep up with issues that
interest them. Paying some attention to the type of content that you post can even make your
tweets go viral.
Hashtags on Twitter are also great for creating temporary communities around events.
Brevity

With only 140 characters, Twitter is ideal for those with short attention spans! Followers are
able to quickly scan and decide what they want to click on to learn more about.
Likability

If you are all about pleasing others and building their trust, then Twitter is just right for you.
Twitter allows you to show your true personality and to make your audience happy. You are
able to reveal, not just your area of expertise but also how you interact with others. Try
offering free samples, but then inviting your followers to your website to make purchases or
to find out more. Remember that relationships are important, so be careful how you conduct
yourself. Using any social media after drinking excessively is always a bad idea.

Relationships

One of the greatest things about Twitter is that you can easily
initiate contact with anyone. It makes it very easy to quickly build
relationships that may blossom into real-life business connections.
This is much harder with LinkedIn, which requires you either to
already know the person, be in the same group, or get someone to
introduce you. But on Twitter, you can follow anyone, although,
Twitter lacks the handy contact database that you can access via
LinkedIn.
Both sites have their advantages, but you will have to be proactive
about building relationships and initiating contact with those whom
you want to connect.
Weaknesses:
Too much Information

Due to the immediacy of Twitter, it’s easy to miss out, especially if


you follow a lot of people. It is simply impossible to catch all the
content which appears in your Twitter feed. Conversely, it’s likely
that only a small percentage of your followers will see your tweets.
Because of the highly temporary nature of tweets, you can only see
them for a brief moment, although, they are permanently
searchable. You may need to repeat your Tweets to make them last
longer, whereas the functions available in LinkedIn (status updates,
group discussion, and internal messaging), makes it easy to refer
back to posts.
If you are just looking for immediate feedback, Twitter is great, but
for longevity, go with LinkedIn. At the same time, remember that you
can make your tweets funny, punchy, and memorable.
Brevity

The 140-character limit is both a blessing and a curse! Some may


love it, but there are times when it’s very difficult to condense all
your important information in a tweet.
Platform

Twitter has come a long way in upgrading its infrastructure to


handle traffic loads and to reduce appearances of the “fail whale.”
But most of the innovations that make Twitter more user-friendly
seem to come from users that want to build a client base rather
than within Twitter itself. Some make use of a third party service
but this can be risky. When Twitter purchased Backtweet, for
example, they shuttered its API.
Statistics and Analytics

If analyzing the effect of social media on your business is important,


Twitter may not lend itself well to that. While you can certainly
measure the effect of your own tweets, measuring how Twitter
influences your business may be much more difficult. Much of
Twitter’s traffic comes from desktop and mobile clients, so tracking
it may be very hard.
Twitter’s systemic issues with being entirely unable to deal with any sort of abuse
whatsoever are well-documented (I’d argue that, with the executives being
Freezepeach Libertarianbros

Disadvantages
On the other hand, many Twitters’ users face the privacy and confidential issues, this is
because Twitter allow its users to freely sign up then log into Twitter and view all public
tweet or information they want. This make its users feel unsecure while using Twitter,
because they will feel like sharing their own personal information with third parties. Besides,
this will cause the online fraud cases to increase because of lack of personal privacy that
offered by Twitter. Furthermore, another weaknesses of Twitter is that Twitter still remain
essentially text-based and allow its subscribers to send “tweets” of 140 characters or less to
their “followers”. This is because some of the users may not be able to express their feeling
or view point within 140 characters. As a result, Twitter had a lot of dead or not active
subscribers, this is because they are not able to connect and adapt to the philosophy of
express their feeling within 140 characters.
Fake news promotions because of algorithms
Fake news and misinformation should not violate the democracy of country
