Twitter is an American microblogging and social networking service which is widely used by all the important personalities and celebrities to convey their messages or to spread information quickly by various organisations.
Twitter, Inc. is based in San Francisco, California, and has more than 25 offices around the world. In the initial days of the app, the tweets were restricted to 140 characters, but later were doubled to 280 except audio and video tweets.
Twitter allows the kind of access to a celebrity that was previously never possible. A huge following can also be great for selling products and promoting yourself, which explains why so many big names spend time on the platform.
So we decided to put together a list of the most followed accounts on Twitter. And here they are.
