Rise Of X(Twitter) Circle
Twitter Circles was introduced by X in 2011 at that time Elon Musk was not the owner, it was formerly known as Twitter at that time. It was introduced at that time as a fundamental component of its social networking platform, providing users with the ability to categorize their connections into different groups. Whereas other platforms that primarily relied on a basic friend or follower system, Twitter Circles allowed users to create distinct circles of friends, family, colleagues, and acquaintances, granting them greater control over who could see their posts and interact with their content. This innovative feature was praised for its user-friendliness and its emphasis on privacy.
