Historic Microblogging Infographics

The Twitter Timeline Infographic Marks the Site's Journey

— November 14, 2012 — Social Media
The Twitter Timeline infographic, designed by InfoGraphic Design Team, shares a few of the many landmark moments of the largest microblogging site on the Internet.

To date, Twitter has more than 500 million active users, generating over 340 million tweets daily. Though the social media site seems to have exploded out of nowhere, it took approximately five years for the company to gain enough public acknowledgement and in 2007, Twitter strategically marketed its benefits at the South by Southwest Conference by tweeting live feeds of the event. The social media site’s daily posts increased threefold.

The Twitter Timeline infographic not only shows how the social media site gained its popularity, but also why it has become the go-to place for instantaneous updates. Twitter is not only a blogging site, but also a hunter for the most recent trends, one recent trend being Infographics. An infographic summarizes a bucket load on information and data, and presents it in an appealing and easy to understand manner.
