How One Tweet Changed Everything - Twitter Launched - March 21, 2006

"just setting up my twttr" 🐦

On this day in 2006, Jack Dorsey sent the world's first tweet—and accidentally created the platform that would change politics, news, and culture forever.

Jack Dorsey and his team wanted a simple idea: quick, public status updates. Like texting—but for everyone. They called it "twttr," with a 140-character limit (the limit of SMS text messages).

On March 21, 2006, Dorsey tweeted: "just setting up my twttr." At first, people didn't understand the point. Then celebrities joined. Then news started breaking on Twitter before traditional media. Movements, memes, viral moments—everything moved faster.

By 2013, 500 million tweets were sent daily. In 2022, Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion and renamed it X.

Twitter turned everyone into a broadcaster.
