twitter makes history.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A number of my friends on Twitter got shocked that I finally hit the 50,000th tweet mark a few weeks ago:

I started tweeting around May 2009 and even I couldn’t believe it myself that I tweet THAT much. Haha. Most of my tweets are usually just a mixture of random thoughts, a few plugs here and there – but basically just a mixture statements which were made to fit 140 characters.

But have you ever wondered the most historic short tweets that shocked the world? Here’s an example – the “trend” of marriage proposals started back in 2008:

Then sometime early last year, the first ever tweet from space was done:

And of course, who could forget the ever famous tweet from Justin Bieber about his mobile number?

There are other historic tweets but at the end of the day, the question is: How do you use your Twitter account? ;)

(Other) Questions
Do you tweet on a regular basis?
Do you follow celebrities?
What was your last tweet?

First? :)

My Twitter account is actually linked to my Tumblr so most of my tweets are just links from my Tumblr posts. :) Yes, I do follow celebrities and actually, the reason why I created a Twitter account is to stalk my darling, Adam Young (@owlcity) :)

abegail on December 11, 2011

Wow! Congrats! Nauna akong gumawa ng Twitter pero naunahan mo ako sa tweet counts. XD I guess I don’t need to tell you na how I use my Twitter. It’s full of randomness. I tweet on a daily basis and yes I do follow celebrities. ^^

Angeli on December 11, 2011

How do you use your Twitter account? I only really use it for competitions these days, never really got into actually using it for Tweeting.

Do you tweet on a regular basis? Nope.
Do you follow celebrities? Yes.
What was your last tweet? Probably about your contest.

I thought I was bad being almost 20 and not being able to drive. Most people in New Zealand learn to drive when they are 15. So I’m a bit slow.

Ashleenah on December 12, 2011

You already! :P Ako naman matagal na merong Twitter account pero lately ko lang nautilize. Maka-Plurk kasi :D Congrats on your 50K tweet! Wishing you more tweets to come!Haha!

Do you follow celebrities?

What was your last tweet?
- An automated tweet regarding my new blog post :)

Wow congrats on hitting the 50000 mark! I’ve started tweeting on my personal account around the time you started too, and I’m no where near that! I use my site’s twitter account to keep live updates on the site, as well as other things, and my personal account to just tweet my random thoughts or plug sites to my friends etc.

Esme on December 20, 2011

You got soo many tweets sis! :3

I use my Twitter like a messenger when I’m at home. The best place to rant and find someone to chat with. xD

Grysh on December 21, 2011

Wow! Andami mo nang tweets! Congrats! I use Twitter to update my status, plug my blog or my business and of course, to rant . . . and a bunch of other random stuff. I do follow some celebrities, like Mo Twister and some from Hollywood.

My last tweet was a link to my latest blog post. =D

Umi on December 21, 2011

How do you use your Twitter account?
I use it mainly to keep in touch with people and post my daily thoughts/ramblings. It also keeps me up to date with what’s going on in the world – particularly in the music scene.

Do you tweet on a regular basis?
Yes! I have to tweet at least once a day. Sometimes I can even sit on it for hours (god bless the iPhone).

Do you follow celebrities?
Not many I would consider “celebrities”, but mostly people in bands and comedians.

What was your last tweet?
(My last tweet that wasn’t an @reply) I was going through my camera, then I found this… http://p.twimg.com/AhQhLSQCMAEVemU.jpg
