The site is struggling to attract new users, has seen share prices tumble and faces continued questions over how it handles abuse.

However, the social media tool can still lay claim to some of social media's biggest moments of the last decade.

The first tweet was sent by creator Jack Dorsey on March 21, 2006. 

Hashtags became common by late 2007, quickly becoming a part of American pop culture.
