Rupert Murdoch Twitter

On Friday, the News Corp founder signed off the microblogging service, possibly for ever, thus ending his run of making news simply by stating his opinions  The article explains that Rupert Murdoch is quitting twitter. He tweeted saying 'No more tweets for ten days or ever! Feel like the luckiest AND happiest man in world.' The “or” leaves some hope for his 745,000 fans. But if this is it, he will be missed. The 84-year-old founder of News Corporation often made headlines simply by expressing his opinion on the news of the day.

1. Now the octogenarian has found happiness in the arms of a former supermodel, Murdoch clearly isn’t feeling the need of Twitter. Love needs more than 140 characters. Farewell Rupert, the subtweeters will miss you.

2. He was also changeable – his disdain for Donald Trump transformed into something like grudging acceptance over the course of Trump’s campaign as Murdoch, with the rest of the world, gradually came around to the idea that the Las Vegas hotelier’s bid for the US presidency was more than a lengthy gag.

3. He paid attention to the news closer than most, and he always supported the home team, especially the old-style newspapermen and -women who had helped to sell his products, especially those with an eye for a catchy front page.

Twtter is where we all express our opinions and i believe we should share our views and if we dont agree we can debate. I believe him not tweeting does not make a difference as they're will be people like him and i believe that there will be people with the same ideology making no different in the social media of twitter.
