Social media has become so entrenched in modern society, that it is hard to remember life without it. It almost feels as if services like Facebook have always been with us. Remember though, these networks are still relatively new phenomenons.
That said, Twitter is surprisingly rather long in the tooth. Even though it feels like a newcomer to the social media scene, it will be 8 years old tomorrow. Rather than celebrate with cake or presents, the company has decided to give users a new "First-Tweets" tool.
"In 2006, people began to say a little something on Twitter through 140-character bursts of plain text. Eight years later, our users have transformed Twitter into place where you can discover new ideas, make real human connections and express yourself freely. So as we mark our 8th birthday, we’d like to say thank you -- to you", says Gabriel Stricker,VP, Marketing & Communications, Twitter.
Stricker further says, "using this Tweet tool, you can look back to find your very first Tweet -- or for that matter, anyone else's. Just type in your @username, or that of anyone -- your best pal, favorite comedian, a star or a president".
