Interestingly, Dorsey's love of technology and computers evolved from his obsession with trains. Analyzing one of the busiest locomotive systems on a higher level made him view how people connect in the same way.
The service limits users to 140 characters in their messages. Twitter does this to maintain an SMS style on the server. The first ever tweet was posted by its founder and stated: "just setting up my twttr". As of 2017, Twitter had 320 million active users and 1.3 billion registered users.
I have never used twitter. I guess I just didn't see the importance of consistently reporting what you were doing or thinking. I would say it is necessary for local and national news updates and maybe celebrities...but to each his own. As I go deeper into my career field, I'm starting to understand how social networking drives the world. Businesses, entrepreneurs, and several others depend on these types of servers to spread their content and effectively build their brand.
Today twitter is so common, you wouldn't be surprised that our own POTUS is an active user. President Trump often turns to twitter to express his concerns both personal and business related. He is often the cause of major social uproars for his out of pocket tweets. Personally I think Donald Trump shouldn't use Twitter for his personal concerns. It puts the country in a bad light if the President goes on a rant about celebrities he doesn't like. But hey, what did we expect when we elected Donald Trump in the first place?
