Social Media Ruining Relationships?

We will do anything to find out gossip about relationships which is why Twitter has completely blown out of proportion. Fans are now able to find out what a celebrity is doing up to about every two minutes depending on how often the celebrity ‘tweets’. Not all celebrities have taken a liking to Twitter, but those who have already use and abuse it. One thing we must be careful is that anyone can make up a Twitter account, so how do we know for sure that they are who they say they are. Are celebrities safe on Twitter? And should they be relaying some of the information they are?

The most recent case and probably the most popular Twitter story stemmed from the break-up between John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston. Jennifer broke up with Mayer because of his Twitter obsession (see Aniston having a hard time with break up) Technology these days has made our world smaller and I”m not sure that is necessarily a good thing. Look at facebook even. It started for those only who had a University email could have a facebook account, and now it is open to anyone who has internet pretty much. It’s the way people advertise these days, and getting out more into the public. According to Dailyfinance even Britney Spears recently hired someone to facebook and twitter for her. As if she doesn’t get enough publicity as it is!

As long as it is their own choice about how much or how little they advertise with social media then it is fine, but it shouldn’t get out of control to the point it is ruining relationships. Celebrities hardly have privacy in their own home as it is, do you really want to welcome in the whole world to know what you are doing every second of your day?

Ashton Kutcher is another actor who has made the time for Twitter although he hires someone to ‘tweet’ for him. His wife Demi Moore is also on Twitter and has 553, 873 followers! That’s insane!

Do you think social media can be good for relationships? Or only going to make things worse?
