It was eight years ago that Twitter moved onto the social media stage. To celebrate, the company is inviting users to join its founders for a trip back in time...all the way to their very first tweet.
Twitter user Allison Hiromi wasn’t impressed with the bartender at the Down House restaurant in Houston. So, while she was still in the establishment, she sent out a Tweet calling him a “twerp” and also used the hashtag #jackoff in her message.
Believe it or not, Twitter turns 5 years old today. Starting out in 2006 and gaining popularity in 2007 at the SXSW Festival where it went from 20,000 tweets per day to 60,000. This is nothing compared to today where 190 million users genrate over 65 million tweets per day.
