Twitter, originally meant for social networking and communication among friends and people who are in a particular niche, region and place to becoming a voice for everything important, everything worth listening to and now a means of passing information. Twitter has become an online voice to share content, current activity and a place to save past activities.
Having 166 daily active users (the population of 3 countries) where a lot of people are addicted to the social network that a day isn’t complete if they do not visit and make a tweet. The social media only accepted 140 characters which means it wasn’t meant for long blogs but this was only at the beginning as people have evolved with the platform writing under each tweet and now making a meaningful post from each 140 character column. Soon Twitter expanded to about 280 characters in some languages so as to meet with the language issues and barriers.
ODEO, the parent company of twitter which was meant for podcasting faced their biggest doom as Apple iTunes was in the market to shake and disrupt the ecosystem of podcasting, so the company was losing money and wanted to try something new and innovative and there came Twitter, the short messaging platform that can be seen by everyone and response could be gotten.
Twitter was very hot after its IPO but soon started seeing a drop in the market but its market dropped and saw rise again when president Donald trump started using it as a means to communicate. A lot of presidents now have only one mouthpiece to address their citizens without going for press conferences and that is twitter. Twitter which was meant for sharing speech has now become a place for world powers sharing speech and thoughts.
The pandemic gave Twitter a strong rise in return as a lot of people started to use the platform as a means to communicate and share thoughts since they are home with nothing to do. What do you think twitter will be like in the next few year, will it remain as king, will it evolve or be overtaken by another social platform.

I really think it can be replaced, just like Facebook and Instagram are being replaced by Tik tok, every day there is something new and most people are fascinated by fashion, so I do think you can beat Twitter with any other application that has the same features and some improvements. I'm still into it because it's been up for years but anything can happen with this technology and social networking thing.

Tech evolves where needed and twitter already seems out of its element with the whole Fake News thing.

With time, th requirements of people change and as long as Twitter fulfills those requirements, it is here to stay. But if a new and better platform comes in the market, Twitter may lose its glory but I don't see that happening any time soon.

I see it being absorbed slowly by SMT like apps that monetize engagement. Soon, the users of these (e.g. browser add-ons) accounts will make twitter just a background platform. Just imagine twitter without any leverage over user data- it just gets a cut as a meeting place like an online coffee shop.

I think that the desire of the users, together with the trend is actually what keep things in demand. Currently twitter serve the cravings of the users. I remember snap chat came and looked like its the new thing next to life. I think now it's replaced by tik tok. I believe even tik too will wash on and twitter will remain.
