Twitter, a significant player in the social media race, was launched in 2006. It altered how people talk and share thoughts. At its start, Twitter let users express themselves in short messages, a highly valuable USP that had never been seen before. In 2006, one of Twitter’s co-founders, Jack Dorsey, posted the first tweet – a simple “just setting up my twttr.” This kicked off a platform that changed the social media world for years. With a 140-character limit (later increased to 280), Twitter pushed users to be brief and creative.
Right from the start, Twitter made an impact. News, famous people, and regular internet users joined in, sharing instant updates and opinions on everything from big news to daily thoughts. Hashtags (#) made topics easy to find, allowing people to look up whichever piece of daily gossip they’ve just heard on Twitter.
Yet, it is undeniable that Twitter is a strong force in the social media market. In today’s blog, we’ll discuss if you liking your favorite tweet from a public account will send them a notification.
