Twitter is 10

I bet 10 years ago none of us thought that 140 characters would change the landscape of Social Media quite so much. However, with close to 289,000,000 active users sending around 6,000 tweets every second Twitter has proven its critics wrong. Obviously,  having gotten over the fact that 10 years of Twitter makes us all feel very old, we had to do something to mark this special day and we have had great fun reminiscing about the early days of Twitter:

Here’s Google’s first ever tweet:

I'm 01100110 01100101 01100101 01101100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101100 01110101 01100011 01101011 01111001 00001010

I am thinking there should be a law passed that stops the twins John and Edward ever singing again! Infact talking or making any sound!
