Wondering what your first-ever tweet was? For its eighth birthday tomorrow, Twitter launched a tool that helps users travel back in time and find their very first tweets.
The social networking service allows users to type in their username using the #FirstTweet tool, which instantly pulls up the content.
'In 2006, people began to say a little something on Twitter through 140-character bursts of plain text,' Twitter wrote in a blog post. 'Eight years later, our users have transformed Twitter into a place where you can discover new ideas, make real human connections and express yourself freely.'
Here's a look at a few notable Twitterers' first tweets.
