Word origin

The term 'tweet' originated from the sound that birds make, imitating the short, quick nature of a message sent on Twitter. Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey coined the term in 2006 when the platform was launched. Since then, 'tweet' has become a widely recognized term in the realm of social media and online communication.
