Introduction to Twitter

Twitter as all known is a famous social networking site which was found by chairman Jack Dorsey and developed by former Chief Executive Officer, Evan Williams. Twitter was designed based on text messaging which was then, a trend at that moment for the people. The idea of SMS suited the plan for twitter where it allows people to update status where it could be shared among people and friends. The idea for Twitter first came out 10 years ago where back then, Chairman Jack Dorsey, started to have ideas for people to share information with other people with the use of e-mails. It is however unsuccessful at that time because of the limits of communication technologies. Twitter first started in 2005 when SMS was a hit at the very moment. It gave them the access to break the limit whereby borrowing the concept of text messaging or IM (instant messaging) and converging it to social based concept which was even better than normal SMS.
