New ideas are fostered from existing
ideas. When Twitter first started, they did not have lists or retweets. The
idea came up only after monitoring users. Also, in 2007, they were reluctant to
start the "#" symbol to mark conversations but it became popular and
Twitter users adapted on a fast pace. Moreover, Flickr started as an online
game and then suddenly changed to a photo sharing media because it has a higher
demand based on their consumers. Social media of today let users exchange ideas
very easily and let the companies see what they can improve on. Ideas generated
on new media leads to an even greater idea from another person. Thus, new media
fosters creativity because there is always someone who tries to improve on the
current media.
