How the Premier League got started on Twitter
To celebrate the eighth anniversary of its launch, Twitter created a tool that reveals what each account’s first ever tweet was. On the day of Twitter’s 10th anniversary we thought it was about time to update our original post to reflect the 20 teams currently in the Premier League for the 2015/16 season.
So, let’s take a look and see where it all began.
