One social media that fosters creativity is Twitter. As I
mentioned before in one of my blogs I recently opened a twitter account. I see
there’s a lot of creativity when it comes to Twitter. I think new media fosters
new features and society gets more creative with social media. The author
Claire Cain Miller describes “Twitter users started referring to others by
typing the @ symbol before their name. For example, Biz Stone, a Twitter founder, recently wrote about
his wife: “Wow, @Livia just took her homemade vegan lasagna out of the oven —
I’m hungry!”” On the other side, I never heard of Design byME before!!! When I went
to the website this is what I found out: “Despite this success, the overall Design byMe experience has struggled
to live up to the quality standards for a LEGO service. As a result, the LEGO®
Design byME service was closed in January 2012.” I think it was a pretty good
idea to order your own model.

Wow what an awesome idea! I would love a Lego version of myself, it's too bad they had to shut down the service.
