What is Twitter?
Twitter is a real-time, global social networking platform that enables users to share and engage with short 280-character messages called "tweets". Registered users can create, post, and interact with tweets, while unregistered users can only view public content. The service is accessible through the web interface, SMS, and mobile apps, allowing people around the world to stay connected with the information and conversations that matter most to them - from breaking news to updates from their personal networks. Twitter's open and decentralized nature makes it a versatile communication tool utilized by individuals, businesses, and governments alike to share ideas, opinions, and critical updates in the moment. With over 200 million active users, the platform provides a powerful channel to amplify PR and marketing initiatives, enabling organizations to target specific audiences and join relevant discussions in real-time
