Hi TEAM,
Digital tools are changing how we communicate, build networks, and exchange ideas, and they are doing so at a remarkable fast pace.
While we discuss and use Twitter as if it has been around forever, in fact Twitter is only six or so years old.
Can you believe it?
I hope this gives us all a sense of how on the forefront we are in this class.
Twitter’s beginnings were quite humble, and few predicted, including its inventor, that it would burgeon into a staple of the digital landscape.
According to the latest figures, Twitter has more than 200 million users, and there are more than 100 million tweets each day.
Twitter’s co-founder Isaac "Biz" Stone was interviewed when Twitter turned 5. He’s a fascinating guy who recounts the very beginnings of the service and what it has grown into.

I hope you enjoy this extra resource.
GO TEAM!
James.
