On July 15, 2006, the San Francisco-based podcasting
company Odeo officially released Twttr—later changed
to Twitter—its short messaging service (SMS) for groups,
to the public.

Born as a side project apart from Odeo’s main podcasting
platform, the free application allowed users to share short
status updates with groups of friends by sending one text
message to a single number (“40404”). Over the next few
years, as Twttr became Twitter, the simple “microblogging”
service would explode in popularity, becoming one of  
the world’s leading social networking platforms.
