Twitter is a website, owned and operated by Twitter Inc., which offers a social networking and microblogging service, enabling its users to send and read messages called tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the user's profile page. Tweets are publicly visible by default; however, senders can restrict message delivery to just their followers. Users may subscribe to other users' tweets—this is known as following and subscribers are known as followers.[7]
All users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, compatible external applications (such as for smartphones), or by Short Message Service (SMS) available in certain countries.[8] While the service is free, accessing it through SMS may incur phone service provider fees. The website is based in San Francisco, California. Twitter also has servers and offices in San Antonio, Texas; and Boston, Massachusetts.
Since its creation in March 2006, and its launch in July 2006, by Jack Dorsey, Twitter has gained popularity worldwide and is estimated to have 190 million users, generating 65 million tweets a day and handling over 800,000 search queries per day.[clarification needed][9] It is sometimes described as the "SMS of the Internet"

Should businesses be set up and managed in accordance with democratic principles? Should employees be allowed to vote, either on who gets top jobs or on specific strategic decisions? Organizational democracy has its advocates, but it is really one of those nice ideas that doesn’t really apply to business if you take a hard look at it.

On the surface, it is easy to see why democratic decision making in organizations might appeal to a lot of people. It is well known that involving people in making decisions that affect them has a lot of benefits. It is a means of motivating employees, developing them and fostering ownership or commitment to a course of action. It is pretty obvious that employees are more likely to be motivated if they feel some ownership over plans and outcomes rather than if they are simply told what to do, as if they were robots.

Then there are employee profit sharing and stock ownership schemes that can be a powerful motivational tool. But these ideas don’t quite amount to organizational democracy, because they offer employees a share of business success without giving them a democratic vote in what the business should do. Such schemes can have a constructive impact on employee motivation, however.

Many entrepreneurs start a business without any knowledge of the organizational structure of a healthy business! This is one of the major reasons almost 80% of businesses fail within the first four years.

No matter how big or small a business, a basic organizational structure has to be in place to give the business direction. The founder of an organization or the person in charge has to structure his or her business in a way so that it can function smoothly and flawlessly. The first step to ensuring this state is creating a basic organizing board that clearly states the functions of each section, department, and the people who run it. This means that there has to be a comprehensive command channel for each executive, manager and employee to follow, thus ensuring sanity and smooth operational flow between each terminal. By terminal is meant any post or posts a person is holding.

The best way to accomplish this task is to have a visible and easy to follow flow chart in between sections, departments and terminals that are paid to fulfill their responsibilities. It is important that the name and post of each staff member is clearly and appropriately indicated on this chart.

Terminals are not to cross over one another in a nonsensical manner! Another words the communication between each terminal has to be conducted in an orderly manner, usually from top to bottom or bottom to top without crossing over to different departments or posts if those departments or posts are not within the command channel. The best way for different departments to communicate to each other is by department heads or if communication has to take place between departments on a lower level in the chain of command it has to be with the consent of the managers or department heads so there is no unintentional miscommunication and disruption in the flow of the operation. This is not to create a dictatorship, but to create a sane environment where particles and communications can flow flawlessly without any confusion.
