Twitter turns 6

twitter-inicios And its growth is unstoppable. Since its creator sent his first test tweet on March 21, 2006, and after its opening to the public on July 15 of that same year, the number of “followers” of this social network has not stopped growing until it became a real social thermometer. What did Jack Dorsey, creator of Twitter, say in his first trill?

” Just setting up my twtrr “, ie ” Just setting my Twttr “. This was the first message that the creator of Twitter, Jack Dorsey sent through a network of short messages that could not exceed 140 characters and that, today, is the second social network with the most users in the United States. And his message was not misspelled. Initially it was called Twtrr and its function was simply the communication between the employees of the company where Dorsey worked, Odeo, quickly and easily.

Later its success led its creator together with Biz Stone, Noah Glass and Evan Williams to create the well-known Twitter already open to all audiences. Currently, after six years of existence since its first tweet, the fashion social network has already accumulated more than 500 million users, according to the data from the latest map of Social Networks presented in iRedes 2012. And may it fulfill many more!
