Bragging On Twitter Is Like Candy For The Brain [STUDY]

A new study suggests that social networks like Twitter are closely linked to how our brain operates. When we tweet about our super-delicious lunch, our newest tech gadget purchase or how we’re so sick of having to wait in this link, our brains feel a rush of pleasure, much like when we get money or eat food.

We love to talk about ourselves. Some of us might even be a bit narcissistic. This is something you probably realized well before signing up for Twitter, but there’s something special about the microblogging service and its older brother Facebook that lets us exercise this narcissistic self-love to the extreme.
