The first big Twitter growth moment was in 2007 at SXSW. "The company set up two 60-inch plasma screens in the convention center’s hallways on which it streamed live tweets, and attendees quickly used the service to communicate with each other" They went from 20k --> 60k tweets / day over the weekend.

@ben has written one of the most insightful articles about Twitter. It is also a valuable resource (esp the "API Drama section") for anyone trying to see the future of Farcaster, and the challenges and threats Farcaster may find in its way. https://stratechery.com/2022/back-to-the-future-of-twitter/

What did continued growth rate look like from there?

The screenshot must be from a later event, because... the hashtag convention was introduced by Chris Messina in August 2007. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashtag#Origin_and_acceptance

I'll use this thread as "early twitter stories", to keep the main channel clear. > The Follow Friday tradition started in 2009 when a Twitter user named Micah Baldwin thought it a good idea for everyone to suggest people to follow in tweets [..] https://www.lifewire.com/a-guide-to-follow-friday-2655376

I've been on 'TwiX' since June 2007. I remember attending the 'Reboot' conference in Kopenhagen around that time, and people were posting on both Twitter and Jaiku (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaiku). Current Warpcast has the same vibe as Twitter back than, but 1 year of Warpcast has literally earned me more already.
