Although Facebook and Instagram are the most popular social networking sites, Twitter still wins in the content sharing department. Twitter is a platform that allows one to express their thoughts in a minimum number of words. It has every feature that users need for communication.

For security, Twitter offers two-factor authentication, which adds an extra layer of security to your account. If you enable this feature, instead of only entering a password to log in, you would also need to enter a code sent to your phone number.

This additional step restricts hackers from accessing your account even if they have your password. It’s a much-needed security feature that every Twitter user should enable.
