First Tweet from Twitter allows users to see what they broadcast to the world on the very first day that they got an account. The tool was created to celebrate the social media company's eighth anniversary.
While these tweets will obviously vary, there are an overwhelming amount making some sort of statement as to why the user ever gave in to Twitter (they had been holding out for so long)! An extremely simple tool, First Tweet does invoke a sense of nostalgia for users, who can re-experience the day they ventured into unknown territory.
Twitter is such a common social media site now, but five years ago it was very much a new thing. Now everyone from news broadcasts to marketing campaigns comes with a hashtag, so congrats Twitter, I think you've earned it.
