#5yrs Twitter turns 5: From 0 to 140 million tweets a day - Mar. 21, 2011

Twitter turns 5: From 0 to 140 million tweets a day - Mar. 21, 2011: "Five years ago today, Twitter cofounder Jack Dorsey blasted off the very first tweet. What began as an experiment in 'microblogging' -- no more than 140 characters, please -- has become a cultural landmark.

Twitter now has 200 million users, including tech luminaries, celebrities and the president of the United States. It started off slowly: In 2007, Twitter averaged just 5,000 tweets per day. But in 2009, the site hit a tipping point and became a broadcast channel for major news events."
