The March 21, 2006, five years ago, Jack Dorsey launched the world, like Neil Armstrong, the first tweet . A first and simple invitation ("Inviting coworkers ") to enter into what by then was a fledgling project, an idea more than they certainly never thought he would become what is now Twitter . The next post is a collection Data and moments that happened this network microblogging or social network (as want to call it), a space that has given voice in recent times people, the people, and has allowed the construction to around one of the most important and essential ecosystem network. An x-ray perfect society through 140 characters. We begin this brief review of history with its beginnings Twitter and evolution to the present. Previously, a magnificent visual guide Twitter:
History Today marks five years since that March 21, 2006, when the first tweet launched by founder Jack Dorsey. In the beginning, the idea of \u200b\u200bTwitter emerged as a research project within Obvious, a small company located in San Francisco. Initially inspired by the booming Flickr, Twitter initially called twttr within the company and internally for later become the company it is today, Twitter Inc., whose Council Directors comprises Dorsey, Evan Williams and Biz Stone.
The idea in those early days was quite clear. A network where users communicate with others through 140 characters. If we think, part of the success today lies in its simplicity of five years ago. Remains exactly the same with minor improvements, nothing has changed in retrospect. Instead advertising itself has been changing over time , from Google AdSense of only financed investment venture companies until September 2009, when Twitter decided to change, leaving the door open to the inclusion of advertising on their services. Today Twitter allows promotion of accounts and Tweets through the so-called ' Promoted ' , a system by which companies can announced during a given time through a payment.
- Trending Topics
That same year, a few months before, the network expanded its ecosystem in the now famous Trending Topics or Themes of the Moment. On April 30, 2009, Twitter was a change in their official search bar. It was that which originated encourage more "noise", the topics that were repeated between the flow of tweets looked like they agreed to a large category, so that all users could recognize or follow the hottest topics. Obviously, with the passage of time, Trending Topics the have evolved from last year also added current issues promoted.
- hastag
Another key was Twitter including Hastags , a label under the symbol hash (#) followed by a word or concatenated allow for an monitoring issues users. In this case it was to organize the talks, thematic blocks to generate an idea or information that was in the air. The hashtags have allowed just that, allow users to get so faster and organized a variety of topics that could turn from something with a lesser importance to the own trending topics . The current use of the label has finally formed an entire "universe" itself among the various communities that exist in Twitter, or thematic issues through serious to the humorous side of users, what was just calling micro-memes. Technology
Another key network has to do with the ease of use. Written in Ruby on Rails , the Twitter interface is extremely simple. We follow and we follow. Users who follow appear in the timeline and vice versa, what is commonly known language "twitterers" as followers and followings .
All Twitter messages are going to stop the server of a software programmed Scala also API is completely open to developers , why Twitter can be integrated into all types of websites blogs and mobile devices. Twitter
confirmed in 2010 one of the most popular upgrades, including the possibility of finally being able to see photos, videos and other content coming quarters. Moreover, since last week the company added the option you can always use HTTPS when accessing Twitter.com to improve safety.
And what Twitter is?
Perhaps the most difficult to explain to someone who comes back is the value of the tool. Like everything else, depends largely on how you use it or want to give . In Twitter you can just follow people. There are famous or celebrities , but people from all areas that may interest you. Writers, journalists, singers, actors, film directors and ordinary people. Above all there are ordinary people who converses and interacts Twitter daily.
As a means of journalism today is invaluable to know what is happening. As a means of promotion works well, although as someone said recently: "Everything tweet may be used against you ." Cases such as David Bisbal, Alejandro Sanz (both criticized for tweets "controversial") or the same Nacho Villalonga (fired by the country after an unfortunate tweet ) come to show that Twitter is a tool to be know how to use in perspective. You can take a simple game, as entertainment or as a means to make reach or hear.
Twitter has gone from being a tool boom a key element in the lives of many. A button that many begin their day to day and that in five years is no longer a young, first- microblogging network an ecosystem that vibrates, discusses, informs and evolves. An element that defines a part of society, the present, embracing her life, real and digital, as a one, in parallel, merging and identifying more than ever with the community that exists after the bluebird. The riots and uprisings of these days we have shown incalculable value as a voice for the people, which over of twitterrevoluciones is the main character. 140 characters without intermediaries, where we can all give our point of view, perhaps therein lies its power, simplicity.
