Photos: Twitter turns 8 tomorrow, introduces first-tweets.com: Celebs recall their 1st tweets

Twitter turns 8-years-old tomorrow Friday March 21. To help celebrate, the social network has introduced a new website called first-tweets.com, which allows users to search their own Twitter account (or someone else’s) to find their first tweet. Users are also encouraged to use the hashtags #firsttweet.
According to Gabriel Sticker, Twitter’s vice president of Marketing and Communications:

"Millions of prolific tweeters have made Twitter an exciting, fun and powerful place to connect with others. But each of you had to start somewhere."

Twitter launched on March 21, 2006 when co-founder Jack Dorsey wrote “Just setting up my twtr.”

The first tweet: Jack Dorsey showed even twitter's founders don't set the world alight at their first attempt, haha!
