Twitter discussion: 

We choose this screenshot of Twitter to look at because it is a little amount of data for us, meaning we can analyse it in more detail. One tweet that we looked at was a 'promoted' tweet which shows up on every ones twitter feed, this shows influential power as they are trying to persuade everyone who see's the tweet to read it and advertise their site. Within that tweet there are links to other websites making it easier for the audience to find the site and easily navigate their way through all the pages. The tweet also uses the phrase 'you must get this' which includes the imperative 'must', which the suggest consequences if you don't, but there aren't any. But the effect on the reader makes what evers being advertised sound like they need to have it, no choice.

One person featured a few times in the screenshot used a lot of The Game of Thrones jargon as well, which you wouldn't be able to understand having not read/seen it.

Retweets also shows influential power because people think they are worth being retweeted for their followers and the tweet or maybe the person writing the tweets has influenced them into making that decision.
