It was eight years ago that Twitter moved onto the social media stage. To celebrate, the company is inviting users to join its founders for a trip back in time...all the way to their very first tweet.
The technologically-savvy Pope Benedict XVI has already encouraged priests to blog and helmed the launch of the Vatican’s YouTube channel and Pope2You mobile and Facebook apps. So it’s really no surprise that as part of his newly-launched news portal, the pontiff sent his first tweet recently — from the papal iPad.
