Usage Story about Twitter Icon
Twitter has always remained true to its main purpose: to let people speak their mind, in 140 characters or less. On Twitter, people with a tendency to talk to themselves are set free. If you are a non-Twitter user and wondering how it all works, think of it as walking down the street by yourself and commenting on stuff out loud as you stroll along, hoping someone would agree with you and join in. Yup, it is very much like the daily routine of an alienated crazy person, just more “socially acceptable”.
While its use has been more or less the same, the Twitter logo has gone through several changes since it flew into the world in 2006. The Twitter bird icon, formerly called Larry, has been drawn and re-drawn repeatedly to keep up with the evolution of the brand. The bird that we know today has been streamlined and kept simple—it has a perfectly curved head, an upturned beak, three feathers on its wing, faces right, and inclined upwards.

Other symbols associated with Twitter, which also play important roles within the site, are:
- Hashtag—often attached before the word blessed

- Star—previously stands for the now-defunct ‘favorite’ function (now called ‘like’)

- Retweet—used whenever a tweet is either socially relevant or funny and the world needs to know

Tweet, retweet, like, hashtag. These icons are about as good as an egg about to hatch.
