We should of course start with the first ever tweet, posted by co-founder Jack Dorsey in 2006, when the service was still called Twttr.

The posting, titled “Thank you!” Despite all of this, Twitter’s mandatory 10-K filing shows that the company is yet to turn a profit and has apparently lost over $2 billion since the company’s inception.
“As March 21st begins around the world, each of our global offices will kick off the day by showing our appreciation and gratitude”, reads the blog post announcement from Twitter posted on Sunday. “We have so many creators and influencers on the platform and the cool thing is that they actually have conversations with people directly”, he added.
According to the most recent reports, Twitter boasts more than 300 million active users – which sounds less impressive compared with Facebook’s 1.5 billion.
But just how flexible is Twitter in terms of change?
Not only people have used this platform to express their thoughts, they have also used it against the wrong doings in the society. One such was “Moments ” , using which it becomes easier for user to locate tweets about the day’s biggest news stories, and changed the shape of its “favorite” icon from a star to a heart. But we even love Salman Khan’s andaaz of celebrating Twitter’s 10th birthday!
With Wall Street clamoring for a higher stock price and the public thinking Twitter is trying to keep up with Facebook in the amount of users, rumors have run rampant that Twitter was going to increase its character limit. “Thank you for making history, driving change, lifting each other up and laughing together every day”. The popular platform that condensed status updates into 140-character tweets has played an important role in the explosion of social media usage around the world.

After months of speculation suggesting Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) was planning to abandon its self-imposed limit of 140 characters, the company has made a decision to stick with the per-tweet character limit.
