Twitter's Birthday!

Did you know Twitter has been going for five years already?! I certainly didn't, until I came across this tweet by @madebymany;

Whoa! Happy 5th birthday Twitter - check out what they're doing to celebrate http://discover.twitter.com/

The link directs you to a really cute video with 'famous' people talking about why they use twitter, who they follow, what they're interested in, and so on.

It's a real range of people too, from @SnoopDogg to @RichardBranson and @sfzoo (San Francisco Zoo).

However, one of the 'recommended' people I'm now following with great interest is Paolo Nespoli - @astro_paolo. His Twitter bio describes him as "European Space Agency Astronaut, Flight Engineer of ISS Expedition 26/27 (Dec 2010 - May 2011)". On the video, he comes across as a really nice guy, too!

And his Twitter stream is stuffed full of amazing pictures, such as the recent 'Super Moon' -

Definitely worth a look!
