Six years back, on 21st March, Jack Dorsey (@jack), co-founder of Twitter sent the first ever tweet, "just setting up my twttr,". He mentioned Twitter as 'twttr' as this was the code name of the project. Since then Twitter has changed a lot. Twitter now has over 465 million users and 175 million tweets are send per day.
But few users and tweets created tumult not just on twitter but all over the world.
Six Tweets that made history:
1) "just setting up my twttr," - @jack (Jack Dorsey).
The first ever tweet.
2) "I kicked my mommy at 12: 18 p.m on Thu dec 11" - @kickbee
The twitter account of Mars Phoenix Lander broke the news of ice on mars on 19th June 2008.
Sohaib Athar (a.k.a. @ReallyVirtual) unknowingly began live-tweeting the top-secret raid that killed Bin Laden in Pakistan on 2, May, 2011.
6) "Here is another photo of the shuttle from my plane"- @stefmara
In May, 2011, NASA launched the space shuttle Endeavour. Stefanie Gordon, aka @stefmara, took a photograph of the launch from a plane and tweeted it, capturing the launch from a new perspective.
