What is Twitter and Why You Should Use It

Twitter: The X App

Twitter is an online social media and social networking service owned and operated by American company X Corp., the legal successor of Twitter, Inc³. On Twitter, users post or reply to texts, images and videos known as "tweets". Tweets can be up to 280 characters long and can include hashtags, mentions, links and emojis. Users can also follow other users, like and retweet their tweets, create lists and join groups.

Twitter is one of the most popular and influential social media platforms in the world. According to its website¹, it has over 330 million monthly active users and over 500 million tweets are sent per day. Twitter is also a source of breaking news, entertainment, sports, politics, culture and more. You can find out what's happening around the globe, join the conversation with sound⁵, and express yourself in your own voice.

Here are some reasons why you should use Twitter:

• Stay informed: You can follow accounts that share information and opinions that interest you, such as celebrities, politicians, journalists, experts, brands and organizations. You can also use hashtags to discover trending topics and join discussions with other users.
• Connect with others: You can interact with people who share your passions, hobbies, goals and challenges. You can also make new friends, find support, get feedback and network with potential collaborators or clients.
• Showcase your brand: You can use Twitter to promote your personal or professional brand, showcase your work, share your insights and achievements, and build your reputation and credibility. You can also use Twitter to reach out to your audience, engage with them, and grow your fan base or customer base.
• Have fun: You can use Twitter to express yourself creatively, share your humor, personality and emotions, and have fun with memes, gifs, polls and games. You can also use Twitter to explore your interests, learn new things, get inspired and entertained.

If you want to join Twitter today¹, you need to sign up with an email address or a phone number. You can also sign up with Apple¹. Then you need to create a username (also known as a handle), a password and a profile picture. You can also add a bio, a location and a website link to your profile. Once you're done, you can start tweeting!
