Twitter Twitter and still Twitter

There are countless stories about Twitter, ranging from the President of the U.S., to fearlessz and even myself, haha! I once said proudly: "The reason why we are popular is because of our imperfections!" Twitter is a very rudimentary website. It was previously called a "one-line blog" by Chinese netizens, and now some call it a "lazy person's blog." Twitter is a perfectly imperfect site. Precisely because its functionality is limited to allowing only 140 characters for input before posting, and then following each other in this "rudimentary" manner, so many ideas and practices emerged after it opened its API.

Let's first get to know a guy, Philip Kaplan from San Francisco, USA. He is the founder of the gossip news site Fucked Company. In April 2007, when he shifted his focus to the newly established AdBrite, TechCrunch (TC) bought his Fucked Company. Why do we need to know him? The answer is simple - the three sites related to Twitter application development that we are going to talk about today are all his, and they were released consecutively, da...da...da...!
