Chapter 683: Ivanka, Queen of Twitter
In 2004, Ikana had a bit of a happy life.
At the end of last year, Twitter, which had been preparing for more than a year, finally went live in the United States.
Compared with Twitter, which was co-founded by Evan Williams and others in parallel time and space, it was a startup stage that had a difficult start.
In this time and space, Ikana's Twitter can be said to have been treated as a super darling of the Internet as soon as it was launched.
The first Twitter tweet of this time and space, released by Abel himself, he used his verified big V account to send out: "Will change the world, this is Twitter!"
It means "This is the Twitter that is going to change the world!" ”
Ikana followed, "just setting up my twttr" and getting my Twitter done.
After the two, there are many big-name stars who are well-known to ordinary Americans.
There are Hollywood big-name superstars such as Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, and Toby Maguire, who has become a little popular because of the Marvel series in the past two years, and many other stars in the American entertainment industry, such as Britney and Avril, who also appeared on it.
Not only the stars of the entertainment industry, but also the names and tweets of the superstars of the four major sports leagues appeared on it.
In three days, more than 200 American sports and entertainment superstars pushed together, and subsequent figures like Warren Buffett also registered and tweeted.
No matter how calm an American is, it is impossible not to pay attention to this new free Internet product provided by this nascent Internet company.
Ikana's 1st generation Twitter, Twitter 1.0. It now does not need to enter your own mobile phone number, but can receive and send messages through instant messaging services and personalized Twitter websites.
Unlike Twitter at the beginning of the alternate plane, Ikana's Twitter supports up to 200 characters as soon as it goes live, allowing users to send more content at once.
And Twitter, which was originally in time and space, was only 140 characters at the beginning.
One of them is always online, because I am too willing to advertise.
Plus it's easy to operate and it's very playable.
The key is to have strong brother companies behind the scenes to provide all kinds of resource support.
The key is also free.
And the man's support.
Ikana's Twitter company garnered an exaggerated number of tens of millions of registered customers in its first month.
And then maintain the growth of tens of millions of registered users every month.
In half a year, the nascent Internet company has more than 80 million registered users. If you tweet once in half a month, the number of active users can be counted as tens of millions.
It's no exaggeration to say that Twitter has gone viral.
It's a bit like Tik Tok in early 2018 in a parallel time and space, and as we all know, Tik Tok became the most downloaded software in Apple's and Google's app stores in the second year.
It took only two years to go from humble to shining supernova.
Last month, Twitter finally opened its Series A funding round after two years of existence.
The financing amount is US$1 billion, and the number of shares is 100 million shares, accounting for 10% of the total share capital.
In other words, Twitter was valued at $10 billion in its first round of funding.
And as the CEO and founder of the company, dear Ms. Ikanna has naturally been in high spirits and full of spring recently.
Just look at the Wall Street Journal's report on her.
The Wall Street Journal called Ikana "not necessarily a great man of technological invention, but she is certainly one of the greatest innovation leaders in America right now, and her extraordinary talent has made her the person who can change the world." ”
A very high rating, even if many people know why the Wall Street Journal has such a good rating — its parent company, Dow Jones & Co., recently welcomed a new majority shareholder, holding nearly 1/5 of the shares......
It is said that the majority shareholder has a close relationship with Ikana, so when reporting on her, the Wall Street Journal naturally used different words than before.
Especially since she is still a woman, you must know that there are too few companies that women lead and do well in the Internet field.
LGBT+ people are still silently developing to be invincible in the world, and the combat effectiveness of the European and American women's circles is also very strong.
Ikana's nature has become a benchmark, blessed with an aura in this regard.
Under various factors, the Wall Street Journal thinks that Ikana deserves to be written about, and it seems normal to have a higher evaluation.
And these newspapers, their evaluation of a celebrity is never fixed.
Kobe Bryant in front of Eagle County and Kobe Bryant behind Eagle County have different evaluations. Zuckerberg in 2010 and Zuckerberg in 2022 have different evaluations.
Now Ikana is being favored and Twitter is gaining popularity.
As CEO, she is certainly well received.
So tonight, Ikana, who was surrounded by the giants of many Internet companies and entertainment and sports superstars, was also smiling very happily.
Even if the party was held on the occasion of Barron Smith Jr.'s birthday, she was undoubtedly at the heart of it, much more popular than the child's mother, Paris Hilton.
During the banquet. She was talking to a female executive sent by Microsoft to congratulate her about how she should get along with her subordinates in the company.
“…… Important employees, we should remember their or their birthdays. On that day, whether it is a gift or a blessing, it can make a considerable increase in the productivity and spirit of the day. And ......"
In the middle of Ikana's words, the housekeeper of the Flower of Ikana leaned over and whispered something in her ear.
I saw a bigger smile suddenly bloom on the beautiful face of this Twitter queen, "Oh, Susan, are you sure?" He's coming? ”
Ikana and Paris's original housekeeper was named Jane.
However, when Jane went to the UK for retraining, she was brushed off in many assessments.
So the housekeeper of Ikana later became this Lady Susan.
"Yes. Master, the boss is coming. Mr. Eduard Sephorosa informed that it would take about 10 minutes to arrive. Lady Susan said softly.
"That's true!" Ikana exclaimed happily.
The Internet company executives who surrounded her next to her, as well as the big stars in the literary and artistic worlds, also had wonderful expressions on their faces.
The conversation between Ikana and Lady Susan just now was not hidden from them, nor did she deliberately lower her voice.
So...... Everyone now naturally knows that Mr. the richest man in the world, who has almost become a legendary figure, seems to be coming here later.
Many people's spirits couldn't help but lift their spirits, especially the big-name celebrities who live on Beverly Hills, they didn't expect such a surprise today!
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to meet him in normal times.
