Since the start of the Internet innovators showed their true colors by creating websites for sharing information, pictures, thoughts, and feelings. Amongst those innovators were Biz Stone, Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams, and Noah Glass whom invented Twitter. The social media giant revolutionized how we connect with people. It came up with the idea of using the "@" symbol to directly speak to someone. This idea was later adopted by Instagram and Facebook. The creativity used by the founders has had a huge part in their overall success. In addition to the "@" symbol, they also used the "#" symbol to group similar content together. The simplicity of the symbol allows users to understand the system easily and use it effectively.
