Simply by letting the people of the world exchange opinions through trending topics with the use of hashtags. A person from Australia can communicate with a person living in London or America. Although, with this being said, people usually unite for global events. It can be a good one or a bad one and, sometimes downright funny as hell. It really depends upon what event is trending.
One good, example would be Game 7 of the NBA finals. That was a global event and by far the best 6 hours of the day. People from all corners of the world got together to watch and tweet about the game through the hashtag #NBAFinals and #Game7. I read one tweet from a person in the Philippines saying that, the crime rate for the day was way below the normal rate. That person added that, it was like having a Manny Pacquiao fight day.
Now, trends aren't always good. Sometimes, bad news come and they break peoples hearts but, trends are simply what's trending at the moment. Like yesterday, the actor James Gandolfini died of a heart attack in Italy. The hashtag #RIPJamesGandolfini was trending worldwide. Each person tweeting their respects to the late actor, others shared some sweet moments with him. The world united and mourned for this great actor. It wasn't a good event but it was still amazing how people responded to the news. Twitter really use of great use to people nowadays.
