Registered users can post, like, and retweet tweets, but unregistered users can only read those that are publicly available.
Twitter was created by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams in March 2006 and launched in July of that year.

In 2013, Twitter was one of the ten most-visited websites and has been described as “the SMS of the Internet”.
