Twitter[2] is a notable social media[1] platform that permits users to post and interact with messages known as “tweets.” In its initial stage, Twitter restricted user posts to 140 characters, but later doubled this to 280 characters in 2017. Recently, Twitter has introduced a subscription service known as Twitter Blue, which allows users to post tweets up to 25,000 characters.
The platform has evolved to include features such as retweeting, liking, quoting, replying, and the creation of threads. Moreover, Twitter has integrated the capacity to include media, such as images, GIFs, videos, and polls in tweets. Additionally, it has launched initiatives to combat misinformation and promote informed discussions, including labeling false or misleading information.
Twitter also provides detailed insights into its user base, including growth trends, preferences, and activity levels. These insights are often leveraged by researchers and analysts to understand the platform’s impact and influence.
A tweet, now officially known as a post, is a short status update on the social networking site Twitter (now known as X), which can include images, videos, GIFs, straw polls, hashtags, mentions, and hyperlinks. Around 80% of all tweets are made by 10% of users, averaging 138 tweets per month, with the median user making only two tweets per month.

Twitter has experimented with changing how tweets work over the years to attract more users and to keep them on the site. The character limit was originally 140 characters when the service started, had media attachments no longer count in the mid-2010s, and doubled altogether in 2017.
