Twitter, we all love it, don’t we? and now we can’t imagine life without the addictive social networking site. It was launched in 2006 and like everything, it’s certainly changed since then. It’s a bit like looking back at old photos and wondering what on earth you were thinking wearing those hideous, mismatched outfits… thanks to today’s trending hashtag, ‘#WhenIJoinedTwitter’, we’re enjoying reliving the slightly cringey and rather crazy thoughts you had about Twitter when it first launched! Is yours in our top ten?
