Happy Birthday #Twitter7

Posted byDaniel HoangPosted inThoughtsTags:

Seven years ago, Twitter was born. One year and five months later, I figured something big is going to happen with this thing. Blogging was the hot thing at the time and I couldn’t figure out why someone would want to post messages in 160 characters or less.

It’s been a pretty wild journey. At times, it was a complete waste of time. For a while, I went on nearly a year without really checking it much. Today, I find Twitter to be an amazing platform of information. Search has enabled us to listen into conversations, follow tags, and find interesting people to follow. Most importantly, the connections I’ve made continue to this day and many have lead to great conversations and ideas.

Happy 7th birthday Twitter.
