Looking at how they are engaging with their followers, the use of satire seems to be a move that many companies use now and is pretty much loved by the Twitter world. Satire, according to the Cambridge Dictionary, is known as a way of criticizing people in a humorous way.

Image
Source: https://twitter.com/Apple Boasting 330 million monthly active users, Twitter has become a special social media platform that differentiates itself from others though its obsession over limited number of characters. Twitter has become the social platform for two-way communication between companies and customers. While I was researching for this blog post, I came upon Apple’s Twitter account. In a nutshell, It has the ordinary characteristics of any well-known company’s Twitter account. Its profile picture is a plain black Apple logo on a white background that we all know and love.

Specifically, in between two regions, Kutai Kartanegara and Penajam Paser Utara. This relocation plan has been decided and announced to the public by President of Republic Indonesia, Joko Widodo itself.
