This article explains that a comedian was on his rooftop when a couple came up there, got into an argument, and broke up, all while he was live tweeting the entire situation. I found this story to be extremely hilarious, with the perfect quotes from the couple themselves, the hashtags of the comedian, and the story in general, but it also made me feel slightly bad for the couple and the lack of privacy. Although they were on the rooftop, fully aware that there was a stranger in their presence, a breakup, and relationship in general is very personal, and this one was broadcast for the entire world to see.
One of the most favored aspects of Twitter is the fact that it can be used to present live and expedient information to the public, however, the idea of that stemmed from news, or important news rather than this raw, personal interaction. The capabilities of Twitter are clearly very prominent, and this article helps explain why Twitter is so successful whether it is used for important information, or as a humurous article. Nevertheless, I think Rachel and her boyfriend did not expect to be online Twitter sensations through their vocal breakup.
