Today is a very special birthday for someone who gave us so much pride and joys. this is "anniversary" of Twitter, which completes six years on Wednesday.
It was on March 21, 2006 Jack Dorsey, co-founder and developer of the site, published the message that would go down in history as the starting point of the service (and break up to that time revealed that Twitter would probably have another name).
The address of the message shows that in fact it was the 20th tweet published, but that ended up being the oldest surviving peep to inspire all of civilization. Since then things have changed a bit. Using the network exploded worldwide in late 2008 when he won some space in the media thanks to the use of social networks of the U.S. election, and has been growing steadily since then.
In its fifth anniversary Twitter claimed to have more than 200 million accounts and 100 million active users, who made 250 million posts daily. Today announced that it has 140 million active users, who post 340 million messages every day, remarkable growth in 12 months. "That means more than a billion tweets every three days. Note that there is much to be said, "jokes the company on his blog. Just as a comparison, the mark of 1 billion tweets took 18 months to be achieved by service users.
Either way the numbers are modest near unofficial surveys made by other companies, which point up to 500 million users.
