Twitter

Twitter is a global social media platform that allows users to post and interact with short messages known as “tweets.” Founded in 2006, the platform became widely known for real-time communication, news dissemination, and public discussions.

In 2023, X Corp. rebranded Twitter as “X,” reflecting a broader vision beyond social networking. Despite the rebranding, the platform continues to serve as a major channel for communication among individuals, businesses, governments, and media organizations.

Twitter/X supports various content formats, including text, images, videos, and live streams. Features such as hashtags, trending topics, and reposting (retweeting) enable rapid spread of information and public engagement.

The platform has had a significant impact on global communication, journalism, and digital culture, shaping how information is shared and consumed in the modern era.
