Abstract
One aspect of the Semantic Web that has not been fully explored is the idea of good interfaces for interacting with small portions of semantic information, in particular with a few set of triples. Even though more and more data has been published in RDF, usually this came from already existing databases. On the other hand, microblogging sites such as Twitter have gained big popularity in the media and have become an important player in the so-called social networks. In this paper we propose the reuse of several components of Twitter syntax to help developers and designers to develop user-friendly interfaces based on syntax that people can easily recognize and from what it is possible to express semantics.
1 Motivation
Semantic Web tools allows users to interact with data in multiple ways: It is possible to store data in triples stores, such as 4store, Virtuoso, AllegroGraph and others. It is also possible to query this data using SPARQL and develop programs that manipulate this data taking advantage of a plethora of frameworks and libraries for different program- ming languages and platforms. It is also possible to design ontologies using editors such as Protege and Swoop, among others. However, to our knowledge there is no user friendly way to manage triples one by one. More generally, it is not clear that exists a way to manipulate triples for (relatively) non technical expert users.
Is in this scenario that microblogging sites appears as an interesting opportunity to express semantics in a human scale. There is a number of reasons for which this is possible:
1. The microblogging concept of short me...

... creation of agents that will “listen” to these message and act according to the semantics in them. Also, it can help users to express semantics taking advantage of already existing platforms for publishing messages. Also, allowing users to publish just a few triples allow people to fix and maintain information about datasets without the necessity of owning a hosting
For future work, is clear the need of user-friendly interfaces to simplify the process of writing Switter. While the proposed syntax is focused in readability, we think is still hard to remember predicate names for the unexperienced user. Interfaces suggesting predicates to use and showing the different namespaces (and their meanings) available can greatly improve the adoption of Switter. Finally, I formal specification is needed to allow developers to create their own applications that supports Switter.
By using conversation language it helps the reader connect with the author with not only their facts but with their emotions and supporting ideas of how they can channel their anger and spend their time on more pressing problems in the world. When the reader sees the author making short and choppy sentences it makes them feel like they are conversing with them in person about a popular matter that had just happened on Facebook and that brings readers to the article because they are able to relate and read in the tone that is very similar to theirs when talking to their friends about something they are also passionate about. Also using the informal and conversational way of writing they are able to get the attention of younger readers, which is where most of social media hype begin by sharing, retweeting, commenting, liking and making responsive videos of other people’s views on the same issue of the cup. They also play a huge role in the sales of Starbucks coffee not only for the coffee itself but also for the fact of the

This quote from Simon Mainwaring emphasizes the purpose of social media and how using it works to create a community. Each discourse community has a different standard in communication and everyday we are asked to use different ways to communicate. The way we communicate can tell a lot about the community we are in. Each day is a new opportunity to communicate with different people who are a part of several communities. Every community has a different view of communication but they work together to achieve their goals.
...conventional way looking at newspapers and web sites. Twitter has gave way to a whole new idea of how information can be provided to the public. Environmental scanning, issue tracking, and issue management can be done just by looking at a twitter feed of all the areas you would like to cover in finding out the particular information you are looking for. Twitter has integrated itself into every aspect of businesses and professions. The use of twitter, which was once to share feelings and inform, has now transformed into a bigger idea of people being able to understand what is happening everywhere around them on a larger scale.
Social media is a revolution, which we are currently experiencing. It has changed the way people communicate and interact with one another, and opens up many more avenues to share news, information, and just general chit chat. Social media is relatively quiet young, but is here to stay for the foreseeable future. We are now at a point where online, we can share, read and react to lots of individual information being posted on microblogging websites, such as Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Tumblr and more. Twitter in particular has been widely embraced, and will centre most of the discussion.

According to Currie (n.d), social media are the various electronic tools, technologies, and applications that facilitate interactive communication and content exchange, enabling the user to move back and forth easily between the roles of the audience and content producers (p.3).

Social media has become a major epidemic in today’s society. According to millions of people have signed up on social media websites, allowing their basic information to be shared with the world wide web. Two of the biggest social media websites today are Facebook and Twitter. The new generation tends to use Twitter over Facebook, the older generation prefer Facebook over Twitter. Though Facebook and Twitter serve the same purpose and have many similarities, they both differ in many ways.
a) Messages in this form of communication can reach a wider variety of persons in various locations.
Ontology contains a set of concepts and relationship between concepts, and can be applied into information retrieval to deal with user queries.
The meaning of social media can be described as technologies that allow humans to interact using information.
In recent years, technology has become the most used and preferred way of communicating, extending across many platforms. All of these programs, such as e-mail, instant messaging, social networking websites in conjunction with text messaging and the ability to access all of these entities on the go, have come into fruition based on the immense and widely found growth made in technological advancements that have occurred in our society. With this, a massive change has developed in regards to referencing how we as humans engage in communication. We have now shifted into a society that relies heavily on the existence of digital communication, whether it be through the means of a mobile device (text messaging) or the Internet (Facebook, Twitter,
