When Twitter was launched 8 years ago as a text service on steroids, who would have thought it would have been valued at  nearly $30 billion today.

Today Twitter is breaking news, has hundreds of million of users and is now included in mainstream media.

In 2008 when I started using it there were only 3 million users. I also did not know how to use it and was in fact wondering what I would even do with a tweet and 140 characters.

I eventually worked it out and I am still playing today.

Have you ever wondered what your first tweet was?

Twitter has just released a fun tool to help you discover your “first tweet

It’s not something that kept me awake at night but I was curious about how I used Twitter  when I started over 5 years ago. I did manage to put together a very insightful Tweet on December 17, 2008. It was “watching the cricket“… now that’s inspiring!

What I was more interested in was the date of my first tweet. If you want to go back in time to see what your first tweet was and when you started, you can use the “first tweet” tool that Twitter has put together for its 8th birthday.
