# Twitter’s Success

Twitter’s success is people discovering the *excitement of publishing*.

The 140 character limit and the overall simplicity is exactly what attracts even those who didn’t think they had thoughts and ideas worth publishing. The rest of it is just a stripped down e-mail functionality.
