In honour of Throwback Thursday and, which is completely different than Throw Your Back Out Thursday, which I intend to start celebrating in the next few years and Twitter’s 8th birthday, they’ve released an easy to find out what your first Tweet ever was.

I'm tweeting now. Kelly told me too. 2 rules: I won't give you totally senseless stuff and I won't give you totally useless stuff.
