What was your first tweet?
Twitter turns six years old today. Do you remember your first tweet?
It was six years ago today that Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey sent the first missive on a social network that now boasts over one hundred twenty million users and three hundred forty million tweets a day worldwide. In case you're counting, that's an average of more than one a day for every human in America.
The tweet that launched billions more?
