Twitter

Twitter is a social media platform that allows users to send and read short messages called “tweets.” Tweets are text-based posts that can include up to 280 characters, and can also include links, photos, and videos. Twitter was launched in 2006 and has since become a popular platform for sharing news, opinions, and personal updates. Users can follow other users and can see their tweets in their timeline. Twitter is known for its real-time nature, as tweets are shown in chronological order and can spread quickly through the platform. The platform has also been used as a tool for activism and social movements, and has played a role in political discourse and news reporting.
