Celebrate Twitter’s 8th birthday with tool to find your first tweet

Celebrate #ThrowbackThursday this week by looking up your first tweet, thanks to a new tool by Twitter.

The San Francisco microblogging social network this week turns 8 years old, and to celebrate, it launched first-tweets.com, a website that makes it easy for users to quickly find their very first tweet.

“Using this Tweet tool, you can look back to find your very first Tweet -- or for that matter, anyone else’s,” Twitter said in a blog post. “Just type in your @username, or that of anyone -- your best pal, favorite comedian, a star or a president.”

Twitter users send countless tweets every day, so finding older tweets can be a trying task. Users can look up their entire Twitter history by downloading their archive, but for those who are only curious about their first tweet, first-tweets.com is an easier way to dig up their past.

Besides creating first-tweets.com, Twitter also highlighted some of their favorite first tweets and included them in their blog post. Among the highlights are:
