Today is Twitter’s 8th birthday and it got you a gift. With Twitter’s new First Tweet tool you can look back at your (or anyone else’s) first tweet without hours upon hours of scrolling. We took the liberty to round-up a few of the best and worst from some noteworthy tweeters.
HI TWITTERS . THANK YOU FOR A WARM WELCOME. FEELING REALLY 21st CENTURY .
