Twitter Celebrates Five Years of Tweets

Yesterday Twitter celebrated their fifth anniversary.  As the service was officially started on June 15th, 2006.  The original site was at a different URL than the Twitter we know today.  At the time it was launched at twttr.com.  Now five years later the site celebrates with the addition of some 600,000 new members a day.  A total that took more than sixteen months to reach in the beginning.  We enjoy using Twitter on a regular basis to tweet about Usenet and technology related topics.  Please consider joining us @NewsgroupRevs.

According to the @Twitter posts on June 15th, the Twttr site saw 224 posts their first day.  A number that is surpassed in a tenth of a second today.  Cheers to the founders and team over at Twitter for providing us all with a highly addictive and very useful social tool.  We look forward to seeing what Biz Stone, Evan Williams and Jason Goldman’s come up with next as they relaunch Obvious.
