Twitter's popularity began to increase in 2007 when there was a festival South by Southwest (SXSW). As long as the event lasts, Twitter usage increased from 20,000 tweets per day to 60,000. The reaction at the festival was very positive.

Twitter tweeting can only be 140 characters?Clear to just 140 characters was not enough for those of us who occasionally need something long. However research has research, I finally found out why twitter should be 140 characters. Turned out to be the beginning of 140 characters that twitter was originally implemented for mobile, which is the length of the SMS character we know a maximum of 160 characters. Well, it turns out twitter to make the length of 20 characters for the username variable as twitternya, so the 140 + 20 = 160 characters. This is the beginning of why should be 140 characters. In addition, it is helpful for short links, such as bit.LY in order for us not too long filled in as the character link into twitter posts. Sumber : http://www.gue-anak.tk
