Twitter celebrates 7th birthday, 200 million users

On March 21, 2006, Twitter founder Jack Dempsey posted the very first tweet that's probably more recognized today than in '06 when the fledgling service was trying to make a name for itself.

Seven years later, Twitter has become an ubiquitous extension of the Internet and part of its now 200 million users' daily lives. In honour of this milestone, the company created a video looking back at the major tweeting milestones of the past seven years.
