Kanye West and How Twitter Has Changed the Way We Communicate

If you needed any more proof that Twitter has transformed how we absorb information and communicate, look no further than Kanye West.

Recently, the superstar rapper let loose a barrage of 70+ tweets, starting with a declaration of his love forTwitter and ending with an apology to Taylor Swift. His apology refers to last year’s VMA incident, where West rushed onto the stage and interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech for best female music video. The incident has since turned into an Internet meme. More importantly, the 33-year-old rapper was vilified by music fans, the media and even President Obama.

Yes, the rapper apologized on national TV and on his blog, but he has never been able to shake off the 2009 VMA incident, and if his Twitter is any indication, there are a lot of people that (understandably) won’t let him live it down.

For whatever reason though, Kanye West decided today to make his case, and he used his brand new Twitter account to do it. Read more here.
