Background of Twitter

      Twitter was founded in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams and Biz Stone. The basic structure of Twitter is in the term, micro-blogging. Micro-blogging is a form of multimedia blogging that allows users to send brief text updates such as status updates within 140 words. With twitter, keeping in touch with friends has never been the same again what more when everyone nowadays practically has a twitter account regardless of age and occupation. Most people who use twitter are using it daily, several times a day found it very useful to communicate especially when everyone is busy running around and about their own lives. It has become a popular tool to use as it is very easy to handle and convenient and it is merely all about status updates. It’s very simple because you only share messages, read others and send yours. With the connection of these three elements, real time messages are being sent at a speed of light and many things are possible. 
      Many people are actually using Twitter and some examples would be the Hollywood celebrities. These celebrities are using Twitter for various reasons and the number of celebrities using this social networking site is increasing day by day. They have many followers which are mainly their fans and this gives them a chance to interact with their fans. This is the background of my topic on “Bridging the gap between the Hollywood Celebrities and Fans using Twitter.”
