The story of Twitter begins with a San Francisco startup called Odeo, which in the early years of 2005 was exploring the potential of podcasting. Its founders were Noah Glass and Evan Williams, a former Googler, who had already made a name for himself in the tech scene with Blogger, sold to Google for several million. At some point in 2006, Apple announced a new version of iTunes with a podcast feature. The founders of Odeo understand that they couldn't do it and, consequently, they play the last card: they ask employees to think of new products to develop to stay afloat.
Jack Dorsey, a taciturn web designer, comes up with the idea of creating a service for India Mobile Number Data sending text messages using the SMS system. Thus was born TWTTR, the prototype with which Jack published his first tweet on March 21, 2006 . The following year it was presented at South by SouthWest and became the service we all know. Since then it has not evolved much, few innovations have been implemented, due to the instability of leadership and management (just think that 12 product managers have taken turns in 13 years), and the difficulty of identifying the route to follow.
Today, after a long period of stasis and confusion, Twitter is betting on the integration of text, video and voice, and on monetization services for influencers. The “Super Follow” feature will allow you to charge your followers for exclusive tweets, virtual badges, access to newsletters (thanks to the Revue acquisition) and audio discussion spaces (Twitter Spaces, a Clubhouse clone , which I'm testing on Gentle company concession). I spoke about it briefly on TG1.
