In an article in the New York Times titled,"Twitter Serves Up Ideas From Its Followers" by Claire Cain Miller, it says that companies both big and small use twitter to find out what the customers are interested in and in a sense Twitter does the same thing Twitter users and companies interact with one another by using re tweets "RT" as well as hashtag "#". This makes it easier for Twitter to see how the users are making use of all the features and which ones are popular. Eric Von Hippel, head of innovation says that Twitter does not compete with there users, they try to outsource them in design. Twitter also gets there ideas from software developers who build Twitter applications. Twitter uses new media to create new and exciting ways to keep their users satisfied.
