Whether you are a regular tweeter or only just sent a single tweet in the past, your 'body of work' is now part of the Library of Congress.The name for the social network was initially envisioned as ' ' but was changed to “ Twttr” when the prototype was introduced in March of 2006 (see Jack Dorsey's original sketch of Twitter), to finally become ' Twitter' as the service was launched publicly on July 15, 2006.

One tweet that will be hard to pinpoint on a map is the first live tweet from space, sent in January of 2010 by Astronaut Timothy Creamer.What if we drew a dot on the map for each geo-tagged tweet sent from around the world? Twitter's 'Visual Insight Manager' Miguel Rios did just that, and here is the result.Four years earlier, when Michael Jackson died on June 25 of 2009, a mere 456 tweets per second had sufficed to set the all-time record at the time. Not all seconds are equal on Twitter: while around 6,000 tweets are sent in an average second today, over twenty times that amount (143,199 tweets) have been tweeted in a single record-breaking second on August 3, 2013, when people in Japan were viewing and tweeting about the animated movie Castle in the Sky as it was being aired on TV.
