Twitter celebrates its fifth birthday

Five short years since it started, Twitter has become part of the fabric of society for tens of millions of users who regularly tweet about their lives and experiences in no more than 140 characters.

And it all started on 21 March 21, 2006 with the brief and banal tweet sent by co-founder Jack Dorsey.

That first tweet simply read: "just setting up my twttr".
