TWITTER'S first trading session on Thursday very fittingly unfolded on itself, as the Twitterverse watched a small circle of men become almost twice as rich as they had been on Wednesday.

The micro-blogging site opened at US$45.10 on the New York Stock Exchange, up 73 per cent from its initial public offering (IPO) price of US$26 as investors clambered over themselves to get into the stock.
