The appeal to Twitter, especially for those who feel disconnected from a sense of community, can be strong.
Psychology Today
brings up an excellent point about the social and emotional effects of the microblogging site. "Twitter aims primarily at social needs, like those for belonging, love, and affection," author Moses Ma suggests. In fact, the piece goes on to suggest that Twitter is capable of making someone feel like they are fulfilling several of Maslow's higher level hierarchical needs, specifically community, self-esteem, and even self-actualization. Ma writes, "Using Twitter suggests a level of insecurity whereby, unless people recognize you, you cease to exist. It may stave off insecurity in the short term, but it won't cure it."

The fact that Amanda Bynes has any "support" to retweet is really unsettling.
