I recently came across a website designated to peta tweets. The webpage is resonancers.com/tweets/peta. It shows all of peta's tweets that have been featured on Twitter's homepage. You can sign in with your Twitter account and retweet or make your own tweets on this page. You can also download a peta widget. After coming across this site, I've been looking at peta's twitter a lot lately and have discovered it's the most interactive website for peta. People are constantly tweeting things about peta, whether it mentions animal abuse stories that need to be brought to our attention or just tweeting to peta in general. The most common tweets share links to animal abuse stories in efforts to get people to protest against the organizations causing harm to animals. The seal slaughter seems to be a popular tweet lately and is generating a lot of buzz to the issue. I also noticed many of the same people continue to retweet the same things when an issue is important to them. This crowd seems very internet savvy. In comparing the peta blogs and peta's Twitter, I found that the peta blogs don't have as much activity on them. People post once in a while, rather than on a daily basis. Twitter seems to have peta followers tweeting things several times throughout the day. There's a lot more activity and Twitter is probably reaching a larger audience than the peta blogs. Everything isn't serious on peta's Twitter though. Some people "tag" peta to be funny or make jokes about the organization, where as others are actually serious peta followers (as you can see in the picture above).
