WHY IS TWITTER SO RELEVANT?

Twitter is a 'microblogging' system that allows you to send and receive short posts called
tweets. Tweets can be up to 280 characters long and can include links to relevant websites
and resources. At the beginning Twitter had been thought as a blog to send messages to
others instantly who were members of the same blog. The first Twitter prototype had been
developed by Jack Dorsey and Florian Weber in 2006.

Twitter was always just about speed. Twitter has been in service of making itself even
faster: faster to show users good stuff with its algorithms, faster to publish in real time,
faster to spread information by considering the importance and relevance of the Tweets
which become on tendencies, and generate an impact in the information networks.

However, Twitter has been become increasingly popular with academics, as well as
students, policymakers, politicians and the general public. Many users has been struggled
to understand what Twitter is and how they could be used more efficiently, despite of all
Twitter has been the social media platform of choice for many around the world.

If you have a personal Twitter account you may want to mix tweets about your daily life
with tweets about other things that are of interest to you, for example hobbies, news stories
and general observations. Insights into non-academic aspects of your life can help make
you an interesting person to follow by others.

There is not any guarantee of this will work for a long time. Twitter's vision of the future,
considers to add new functions and products that will have been integrated during the next
years, and many creators are still working in innovational ideas. But this is what Twitter
wants to be: the internet's universal communication tool, with all the new features that
people require.
