Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter has focused attention on the social media platform’s worst aspects. But there was a time in Adelaide when the site brought people together.

Musk has one key connection with South Australia – his “big battery” which was the biggest of its kind when installed in 2017.

And it was Twitter that made that happen.

Today, we’re going to travel back to the early days of Twitter – an idea that was spawned by a couple of tech guys working for a podcasting company back in 2006, and which went on to change the world.

To help us through Twitter’s local impact is Michelle Prak. She’s now a writer and university teacher, but was once a social media consultant and one of the most influential Adelaideans on Twitter in its early years.
