The social media platform, that allows you to 'tweet' what you are doing in up to 140 characters did not start to get even remotely popular until July 2006, but it was already a few months old by then.

Fast forward to today and you have a startup that survived serious scaling issues and is getting serious mainstream attention. Facebook is obsessed with the young company, as are many others. Happy Birthday, Twttr.

Happy Birthday Twitter!

What you need is just to have a try. you don't need to figure out what's the advantage of it. if it's suit for you, or it's useful to you, you may like it and enjoy it. or just forget it.
