10 Years on Twitter
10 Years on Twitter
So I received a notification from Twitter this morning, that’s nothing unusual, except that this one said “It’s your Twitter anniversary…“
What?! Apparently it’s ten years since I signed up to Twitter. If you’d asked me yesterday, I would have said that the social media giant wasn’t even around ten years ago. Some research this morning has enlightened me, Twitter was launched in July 2006. I signed up two and a half years later.
Apparently it’s 10 years since I joined #Twitter, wow!
The world has changed so much, but I’m still tweeting.#MyTwitterAnniversary pic.twitter.com/ZV1tUqTAxs— Simon Yeo (@SimonYeo) January 6, 2019

As a relatively early adopter, I was able to secure my real name as my Twitter handle @SimonYeo. Good luck to anyone trying to get their real name as a username today!
I’m only an occasional user of Twitter these days. Below are some of my earliest tweets from 2009.
