In July, 2008 while watching the Tour de France Stage 4 Time Trial, I was caught by surprise to hear J. Vaughters drop the F-Bomb. The following day Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwin mentioned that Jonathan Vaughters apologized via twitter. I immediately had to have a twitter account. Here is the tweet I discovered “TeamSlipstream Ooops… I just dropped the F-Bomb on Versus, live. Sorry to all the parents out there. It was just really intense today… JV”
Little did I know that I was beginning a love affair that would open doors, create friends, and change my world.
Twitter turns five today. On March 21, 2006 Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey presented the world with it’s first tweet at 4:50PM PST, tweeting that he was “just setting up my twttr.”
In honor of it’s fifth birthday twitter released some interesting stats. You can see the full list of stats at the Twitter blog post, but the most interesting to me was that the average number of Tweets people sent per day in the last month was 140 million.
I may only be a few tweets in the big sea of information…but I love you anyway, twitter! Happy Birthday and many happy returns 🙂
