Why did you get the name 'Twitter'?

The origin of the name of Twitter is posted on the official blog by saying 'Do you know why the name of Twitter was given?'

At that time, I decided to think about the service name based on what would happen if someone used Twitter.

When someone tweeted, the mobile phone 'ringed', 'trembled', 'the screen glowed', etc. in the pocket, and so on. One of them was the phrase 'twitch'.

The day was open without any conclusions, and this topic was to be taken home by each person. In front of a large paper dictionary, when I was thinking about the meaning of the words that gave my opinion and other ways of expressing them ... I found the word 'tweet' under 'twitch'.

This is the origin of the Twitter name.

That screen that appears when Twitter is heavy is an example that it should really be like this.
