On July 15, 2006 – Twitter, later one of the largest social media platforms in the world, is launched.

 

In 2006, Twitter was launched as a simple microblogging platform by Jack Dorsey, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams. Initially conceived as a side project within the podcasting company Odeo, Twitter allowed users to post short, 140-character messages known as "tweets." The idea was to let people share quick status updates with their friends, a concept that seemed modest at first. However, its unique real-time, conversational style quickly set it apart from other social networks. By making it easy to broadcast thoughts, news, and personal updates instantly, Twitter tapped into people’s desire for immediacy and connection.
