About Twitter

Twitter, founded in 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams, started as a microblogging platform that revolutionised the way information is shared and consumed online. It was bought by X.corp and is now known as X. Known for its 280-character tweet limit, Twitter has become a significant platform for real-time news, entertainment, politics, and more. It enables users to post short messages, or tweets, which can include photos, videos, links, and text.

Twitter stands out for its immediacy and brevity, making it a preferred platform for public figures, journalists, and individuals to share quick updates, and opinions, and engage in public discourse. It has played a critical role in social movements, and political campaigns, and as a tool for real-time communication during global events.
