Twitter

Twitter which was created by Obvious, a 10-person start up in San Francisco is one of the most popular social networking website along with Facebook. Facebook currently has more users because of its deep personal interactions with the users. It includes chats, events, photo gallery shaping it up more like a personal resume. On the other hand Twitter  acts as an "RSS reader" in which to users are shown short messages from the people they following. They can select exactly what and from whom they want to hear. Group of users on Twitter consists mostly from professionals which are promoting business (a teenager can read about Lady Gaga’s new costume). Few people use Twitter as a personal page where they can post “Today I had fun with friends” , but this is not regular because of the Facebook personal approach.
Twitter has more than 200 million accounts and is a part of an elite social group. The summers of 2011 was highly influential when Twitter itself raised $ 400 million from private investors. It was led by the Russian Billionaire Yuri Milner. Twitter’s rapid growth as a social networking site includes its use in Iran to organize protest against the disputed presidential elections. This is where this site earned some heavy respect. Twitter’s partnership with one of the most leading firms in world market, Apple is on the verge but nothing is disclosed since no agreement has been reached. Once it does its all set to shock the world.
