Twitter (/ˈtwɪtər/) 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 those who are unregistered 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 in July 2006.
The service rapidly gained worldwide popularity, with more than 100 million users posting 340 million tweets a day in 2012. The service also handled 1.6 billion search queries per day. In 2013, it was one of the ten most-visited websites and has been described as “the SMS of the Internet”. As of March 2016, Twitter has more than 310 million monthly active users.

I am so pleased that @jack and the Twitter team are looking into this. Having been there when “we took a different path for reasons that were reasonable at the time”, I have long wished that Twitter had been built after Bitcoin not before it https://t.co/J0jmFEcJnE (http://twitter.com/fredwilson/status/1204800968405078016?s=17)@jack: Finally, new technologies have emerged to make a decentralized approach more viable. Blockchain points to a series of decentralized solutions for open and durable hosting, governance, and even monetization. Much work to be done, but the fundamentals are there.
@jack: Some of these issues were emphasized by @stephen_wolfram in a blog post following his Senate hearing titled “Optimizing for Engagement: Understanding the Use of Persuasive Technology on Internet Platforms”. writings.stephenwolfram.com/2019/06/testif
@jack: We’d expect this team not only to develop a decentralized standard for social media, but to also build open community around it, inclusive of companies & organizations, researchers, civil society leaders, all who are thinking deeply about the consequences, positive and negative.
go deeper.. ie: 2 convers as infra
@jack: We’re calling this team @bluesky. Our CTO @ParagAwill be running point to find a lead, who will then hire and direct the rest of the team. Please follow or DM @blueskyif you’re interested in learning more or joining!
