A Side Project That Took Off:
Twitter, began as a side project by employees at a podcasting company.
It was just a way to send short status updates.
Today, it’s a platform with over 450 million users.
Twitter was created in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams, and was launched in July of that year.
Twitter grew quickly; by 2012 more than 100 million users produced 340 million daily tweets.
Elon Musk bought Twitter in October 2022 for a whopping $44 billion at his original proposed price of $54.20 per share.
