HISTORY OF OF TWITTER DAY

Twitter was birthed way back on March 21, 2006, in the spare office of a simple podcasting startup, Odeo, in Francisco, California, by a humble set of tech graduates whose idea has since changed the world of communication as we know it today. Have you ever imagined sharing information with multiple people? Typing an S.M.S. and sending it to 40404 will forward the message to all your friends. Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams, Biz Stone, and Noah Glass 2006 were poor individuals with nothing to their name. They did not even have the domain name twitter.com, but 16 years later in 2022, each of them is a billionaire with several ongoing projects and achievements. Twitter now has an estimated 300 million active monthly users.
