  In the early months of 2006, a NYU student Jack Dorsey shared a new online communication idea with some of his coworkers at Odeo, a podcasting company.

  Dorsey’s idea was a platform that allowed users to share short messages with groups of people, similar to sending text messages. The first version of this platform was referred to as “twttr,” and was used solely by people who worked for Odeo. On July 15th, 2006, Twitter was introduced to the public. The website started seeing around 20,000 tweets per day in the first months, but this number grew to 60,000 in 2007, when Twitter was a hot topic at the South by Southwest Interactive conference.
  In 2007 July, Twitter received a $100,000 Series A funding round led by Union Square Ventures. The app’s popularity started to explode after being heavily promoted by the tech community during the annual South by Southwest conference.

  In 2022 Musk took over Twitter after a protracted legal spat that would have culminated this week in a trial in Delaware’s Court of Chancery.

  On July 23rd 2023, Musk teased that the platform would receive a rebrand, dropping the name, the phrase "tweet" and its mascot, which date back to 2008.
