As Twitter celebrates 7th anniversary of first tweet, we collect yours

With Twitter celebrating the seventh anniversary of its co-founder’s first Tweet on Thursday, we decided to scroll through cobwebs of our posts and find the Kansas City Business Journal’s inaugural Tweet.

Wednesday marked the four-year anniversary of the Kansas City Business Journal’s maiden Twitter voyage with this post: “Just getting started. We’ll share our news ... if you share yours with us.”

In the spirit of that statement, we asked fellow tweeters to share their first tweets with us on Thursday, too.

The most optimistic #1stTweet came from Kansas City-based advertising firm Barkley (@barkleyus) in 2009: “The future belongs to explorers.”

Kansas City-based digital marketing agency VML (@VML) also dabbled with hashtags on its first stab at Twitter in July 2008: #happybdaytwitter.

Keep reading below for more first-time tweets and some of the conversation we had in soliciting them.
