Data is the next Intel inside
How the data is handled is probably one of the most important aspects for a website, as discussed in class the maximization of data as a strategic asset is one of the benefits that a website can get from its users putting input (data) and having data strategies.
The most important or relevant pages of the last years are the ones that have a strategy over the handling of data. One of this websites is Twitter. When you think about it twitter does not provide any new information or data, it just provides the service to help users (organizations, companies, celebrities or just regular people) to communicate with each other.
Twitter has emerged from just a simple SMS service to a successful and popular social networking platform.
By the end of July 2010 Twitter had over 190 million accounts. So why is Twitter so successful?
It is a really easy concept to understand and does not involve any special training to start using it. Also the internet suffers from a massive problem of information overload and Twitter seems to offer a way out of it to some extent; the user can choose the source of information they want constantly to receive (organizations, companies, celebrities or just your family and friends)

Good post, simple and to the point. However it could be a little longer (250 words min). I think you could also focus a bit more on it's relevance to the pattern. Anyway good luck with the portfolio.
