the first tweet

Jack Dorsey's 2006 message 'just setting up my twttr', the first post on Twitter.
Sent on 21 March 2006 when the service was still spelled 'twttr', it is an unremarkable status line that happened to open a platform that reshaped public conversation. Dorsey later auctioned it as an NFT, an odd coda for five plain words.
Also known as: just setting up my twttr, Jack Dorsey first tweet
