HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWITTER!!!

Five years ago today, a revolutionary method of communicating was delivered to the world and was named Twitter. The social media platform has possibly surpassed its founders' expectations and capabilities of its usability. Since its launch, the microblogging site has launched careers, reunited long-lost relatives, given users direct access to celebrity gossip and even to some extent brought some dictators down.

"just setting up my twttr" was the first tweet posted by Co-founder, Jack Dorsey, in 21/03/2006, which has been re-tweeted over 100,000 since then. Twitter now holds approximately 200 million users, who have been estimated to tweet over a billion tweets every week.

In celebration of Twitter's birthday, Dorsey has been tweeting about Twitter's historical moment in the last five years since it's launch & he's contribution to the social media site's reign. "5 yrs ago today, the eve of launching twttr to the company. Moving from @Biz, @florian and me, to all of our peers using it. Nervous. #twttr" tweeted by dorsey on Sunday.

Twitter is now regarded as a significant method of communication. It has a record of 6,939 tweets per second, and took 3 years, 2 months and a day to reach one billion tweets. The average number of tweet a day is currently 140 million.
Twitter was estimated, last month on the Wall Street Journal, to be worth £4 to £6 billion ($8 to $10 Billion).

Pipon would like to wish Twitter a HAPPY BIRTHDAY & to its founders a big thank you for bring such a useful tool to both internet users & businesses, and especially search marketing.
