Twitter is
an online social networking service
that enables users to send and read short 140-character messages
called "tweets".
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. Twitter
Inc. is based in San Francisco and
has more than 25 offices around the world.
Twitter was created in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams, Biz Stone and Noah Glass and
launched by July 2006. The service rapidly gained worldwide popularity, with
more than 100 million users who in 2012 posted 340 million tweets per day. The
service also handled 1.6 billion search queries per
day. In 2013 Twitter was one of the ten most-visited
websites, and has been described as the SMS of
the Internet. As of December 2014, Twitter has more than 500 million
users, out of which more than 284 million are active users.
