최근 기존 블로그와 다른 마이크로 블로그의 한 종류로 트위터가 인터넷 상에서 화두로 대두되고 있다. 트위터는 기존 블로그나 미니홈피의 여러 가지 기능을 간소화하고 짧은 내용의 텍스트만을 올릴 수 있는 마이크로 블로그이다. 그런 이유로 트위터는 단순함과 즉시성이라는 고유의 특성을 가지고 일반적인 인터넷 이용자들에게 급속하게 알려지고 있다. 이러한 트위터를 분석하면 다양한 주제에 대해서 인터넷상의 대중들의 생각과 의견들을 알 수 있는 창구가 될 수 있다. 또한 다른 언어권 국가들의 트위터와 비교하면 양 국가간의 문화적 차이를 알 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 한국어 및 영어권 이용자들의 트위터 상의 메시지를 주제별, 목적별 등으로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 한국에서는 트위터 이용을 개인적인 생각을 적는 일기장으로 많이 사용되지만, 영어권 에서는 그 외에도 보도 자료나 광고등 여러 가지 목적으로 사용되고 있다는 것을 알 수 있다.

Twitter's increasingly important role in political communication can be effectively addressed by examining the process by which Twitter users form their opinions on television debate program. Content analyses of Twitter discussions after television debate of the Korean presidential candidates provided interesting insights into how Twitter's opinion leaders reflect on the televised debates. The results show that Twitter mentions rather focus on personality traits of the candidates while television debates emphasize the candiates' policy issues. Specifically, Twitter users mainly concentrated on the political ideology and morality of the candidates. In sum, Twitter seems to have its own way of influencing the public opinion separately from the television.
