The Power of Twitter as a Social Media Platform


Twitter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 

Twitter is an online social networking and microblogging service that enables users to send and read "tweets", which are text messages limited to 140 characters. Registered users can read and post tweets, but unregistered users can only read them. Users access Twitter through the website interface, SMS, or mobile device app.[9] Twitter Inc. is based in San Francisco and has offices in New York City, Boston, San Antonio and Detroit.[10]

Twitter was created in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams, Biz Stone and Noah Glass and by July 2006, the site was launched. The service rapidly gained worldwide popularity, with 500 million registered users in 2012, who posted 340 million tweets per day. The service also handled 1.6 billion search queries per day.[11][12][13] Twitter is now one of the ten most-visited websites, and has been described as "the SMS of the Internet."[6][14] It is one of the most successful startup companies of all time by market capitalization, revenue, growth and cultural impact.[15]

My Take On Twitter

Twitter has proven to be a powerful Social Media Tool, you can literally talk to anyone, in any position, from the lowest position to the highest, if you use it for business, wow. I personally have found Twitter to open big doors, It can get you in the doorway of the largest corporations in America, and around the world. Twitter is faster than a speeding bullet, and more powerful than a locomotive.
Is it a bird, a plane, no its Twitter, and its the Superman of communications.
