As Twitter celebrates its fifth birthday today, it has unveiled a new site discover.twitter.com, featuring some of its most prominent users and a video with their explanation of how they use the service.
“Follow your interests. Discover your world,” says Twitter, and its new video calls upon famous Twitter users to discuss how Twitter fits with their interests — who they follow and what they do on the site. The list of Twitter celebrities includes Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, rapper Snoop Dogg, tennis star Serena Williams, astronaut Paolo Nespoli and others.
It was five years ago today that co-founder Jack Dorsey sent the very first tweet – “setting up my twttr.” The company now sees an average of 140 million tweets per day, and it has been tweeting links to some of its favorites.
