Twitter is also referred to as the SMS of the Internet because of its unmatched popularity and its similarity to the SMS text messaging system used on cellphones. Twitter has been used to inform people about various TV events such as the Oscars, MTV Video Music Awards, etc...

Twitter is often referred to as the "SMS of the Internet" because it is a microblogging platform that allows users to send and receive short messages, similar to how SMS (Short Message Service) is used to send and receive text messages on a mobile phone.

One of the key features of Twitter is its 140-character limit for tweets, which makes it easy for users to communicate concisely and effectively. This feature is similar to the 160-character limit for SMS messages, which was designed to allow people to send short messages quickly and easily.

Another reason that Twitter is often compared to SMS is that it is a real-time communication platform, with tweets appearing in users' feeds as soon as they are posted. This allows users to stay updated on the latest news and information, similar to how SMS allows people to send and receive text messages in real time.

Overall, the similarities between Twitter and SMS in terms of their brevity, real-time communication, and widespread use have contributed to the comparison of Twitter to the "SMS of the Internet."
