Study of Existing Design Architectures and Frameworks in Twitter

Abstract

Micro-blogging is a way of communication where users publish messages with limited length. Twitter is one such example where the user message is known as tweet which is a post of 140 characters and published to reflect their views on an event and discussions. Large numbers of users are connected on the Twitter network and large amount of information is generated from them. Based on the different Twitter aspects various commercial and non-commercial systems have been developed. This paper aims to study these different aspects of Twitter and discusses the different design frameworks and architectures related to it.
