I have officially been on Twitter for five years. Twitter has changed how I get my news, how I consume media, and how I release thoughts into the world. All 3,770 of them.
Mostly, Twitter has been there for the big moments.
Like when I finished my freshman year of college. And the night LOST ended.
And when John Isner won the longest tennis match of all time.
In late 2010, I applied to study abroad in Australia.
Twitter was there the night we caught Bin Laden.
And when I traveled to Florida to broadcast BC/UCF.
I got a little excited on the epic final day of the 2011 season.
Twitter allowed me to ponder life’s biggest questions.
It was even there when I started this blog.
And when I left for Australia.
It was there through pain.
And fortune.
Fall 2012 was all about Raul Ibanez.
Twitter was there when I experienced my first earthquake.
Twitter was there for my last radio show.
And when Google Reader shut down. Not that I cared or anything.
And for many, many other things along the way.
I’m not sure how Twitter will be used in five, ten, twenty years. I don’t know if it is something I will use for my entire life. But it’s been an important part of these past five years.
