Happy birthday Twitter! It's been 4 years since the day the first ever Tweet. Although a birthday is self explanatory with the parties and the cake, there's also the significance of this day, moving forward being another year older! I'm certain Twitter has some great plans in store for the next couple of years, possibly to become a bigger trend than it already is now? When Twitter first started out, there were critics that said it wasn't a means of social networking that would last in the long run.
A large part of this was due to it's supposed limitations. Although Twitter is limited in comparison to networking sites like Facebook, it is enough in it's own way. Despite how Twitter is only meant for users to Tweet 140 characters at a time and RT @ others, it is THE social network. With social networks like Facebook, users get so caught up in getting all those different applications rather than using it as a means of staying connected. It is true that you can be connected to over 500 friends on Facebook, but without communication, they are just people you're connected to, but don't necessarily interact with them.Twitter is simple, it keeps users communicating and interacting with one another. It is this direct relationship between users that makes Twitter a proud 4 year old social network.
