Happy 5th Birthday Twitter!

Posted on March 21st, 2011 by EliciaBasoli

Can you believe it? It has been 5 years, since the first tweet was tweeted. Since 2006, Twitter has permeated our culture and is used by all walks of life around the globe, from politicians and celebrities to charitable organizations and brands!

So, Congrats to the folks at Twitter and here’s to many more years of tweets to come!

Check out this video released on the Twitter blog, featuring a number of VIPs talking about how they use Twitter. Who knew?! Snoop Dog follows Martha Stewart!
