Today is the 15th anniversary of the first tweet sent on Twitter. Love it or hate it, it’s definitely made a mark in the world’s culture and society. I joined in June of 2008 and sometimes I hate all the time I waste on there and on the internet on a daily basis.
Below are six links to online articles about Twitter and how it’s changed the world as we know it and there’s also a link to a quick illustrated video history of Twitter back in 2014.
And then there’s the trusty MBIP Coming Attractions as to what’s happening next week on the MBIP blog. So there!
