On March 21, 2006, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey wrote, "Just setting up my twtr" — the first tweet ever. It's been eight years since the 'blue bird' first entered our lives!
"In 2006, people began to say a little something on Twitter through 140-character bursts of plain text. Eight years later, all of you have transformed Twitter into a place to discover new ideas, make real human connections and express yourself freely," wrote Rishi Jaitly, India market director at Twitter, in a blog.
To celebrate its anniversary, Twitter has decided to take its users on a little trip down memory lane by launching #FirstTweet.
Using the website first-tweets.com, you can enter your Twitter @username and instantly pull up that first tweet you tweeted — or for that matter, anyone else's.
You can even retweet your first tweet directly, so expect to see a plethora of 'my first tweet' tweets on your timeline.
