I suspect that Twitter became popular because it came before Instagram and Snapchat. If it had come after, it would be ignored.

I taught an MBA class with 11 students. They were required to use Twitter for a group assignment.

My shock when a large majority of them had never used it, and a large minority of the new users just couldn't figure out how to use it, and why it was useful.

I have a four-letter Twitter handle (so I have had it since the dawn of time) but the "why it was useful" part still eludes me.
