Company NewsTwitter Snaps Up a Text-Messaging CompanyTwitter was born as a text messaging service; tweets are 140 characters because that is the length of a text message, minus a few characters for the author’s name.Today, though, most people in the United States think about Twitter as a Web tool, and they use it either online or via smartphone apps.But Twitter has not forgotten about all the people in the world who do not have fancy phones. On Friday, the company announced that it had acquired Cloudhopper, a Seattle text-messaging start-up. There is “untapped potential” with Twitter text-message use, Evan Williams, a Twitter co-founder and its chief executive, said at Chirp, the conference for Twitter developers earlier in April. “Mobile is clearly where the majority of usage will happen,” he said.Using Twitter by text messaging is especially useful in developing countries where people do not have Web-enabled phones, and the majority of Twitter’s users are outside the United States.
