    That would certainly make sense. A ‘recent’ example could be when Martin Luther posted The Ninety-Five Thesis across Germany in 1517. Most social media terminologies has a background in things that are relevant to people at their core as it’s more magnetic in that way. In that same vein, the term “twitter” as defined in the dictionary is “a short burst of inconsequential information,’ and ‘chirps from birds’”. Everything is relavent :)
