If you are asking yourself, “What exactly is globalization?” -- Well, here is my understanding of it… globalization has been and most likely will always be an ongoing process that eliminates borders between nations and allows an interconnectedness between nations. For example, 20 years ago it would have been very difficult for me to speak with someone from across the nation. Now with the internet, I am able to speak instantly with others around the globe.
There are many factors that contribute to globalization; some more than others. One of the more obvious ones is the internet. I actually believe the internet has grown so much that we can consider once sub-factors (MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, etc), now factors.
There are estimations that Twitter has up to 8 million users all over the world and increasing everyday. With the brief and easy platform Twitter uses, it makes it so easy to connect with people everywhere (globalization). Twitter is contributing in major ways to globalization by knocking down international barriers.
Just recently I received a DM from a web designer in Germany asking some general questions about SEO. Nobody I knew, but it was interesting that Twitter enabled us to engage in conversation so easily.
Now with all of the hard work the staff at Twitter puts into their site, we can be sure that Twitter will always be improving its usability and helping users connect from all over the world.
