(7 minutes of reading time)


You know that feeling when time goes by too fast, and you don't notice? Twitter fans are sure to experience this feeling in March. That's because the platform completes 16 years old since when it was launched in 2022.

Created in the United States in 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams, and Biz Stone, the platform came up with the idea of being a kind of microblog for sharing textual and visual content.

One of Twitter's biggest differences is how it is used and how easy it is to stay on top of the most talked trends in each region. What draws the most attention, right from the start, it is the fact its less dense in terms of content sharing format, with a word limit.

Thus, it is important to note that over the years, Twitter has grown in popularity due to its simplicity, easiness of use, and immediacy.


TWITTER TURNS 16 YEARS OLD IN MARCH 2022

Since its launch, more and more people have come to Twitter with the intention of sharing momentary thoughts and engaging in debates with others by following the hottest topics.

Thus, a user can research which subjects are trending on the platform and, if he/she creates interest, he/she can join debates about the topic on the platform in a transparent and objective way.

Twitter is also the platform that serves as a stage for several controversies involving celebrities, and politicians around the world. It is common for these people to get involved in controversies by sharing something on the platform, such as a controversial opinion, for example.

Today, Twitter is already available in virtually the entire world and with 35 languages available for use on the platform.

In addition, Twitter also stands out in the market as one of the social networks with the highest number of active users in the world, 316 million. It is worth mentioning that around 500 million tweets are posted every day and 23% of the population with Internet access is present and active on Twitter.


TWITTER AS INFORMATION AND MARKETING CREDIBILITY

The platform can also be considered an important source of information, especially for Americans and inventors of the social network. According to a survey by Website Rating, 12% of Americans say they receive news directly through Twitter.

And who said that the social network has credibility only with individuals? The survey mentioned above also found that 54% of all companies in the B2B industry use Twitter as a digital marketing tool.

This is because it is a good option to publish small and new information, which must be released in a short period of time. In addition, the social network is great for companies to demonstrate a position on a much-discussed subject and that is linked to its sector of activity.

Still thinking about digital marketing, Twitter is also great for trending keyword research with its famous Trends tool. With it, companies can see what people are talking about and work with content based on this data.

Even with all the opportunities to generate organic traffic, it is still very common for brands to invest capital on Twitter, as around 165 million ads are displayed on the platform daily.

Because of this, Twitter is now used by brands and individuals around the world as an effective tool for advertising and marketing. There are many reasons for this, but it all boils down to the fact that Twitter offers an unparalleled level of engagement with its users.
