The first tweet ever written on the web was this -“just setting up my twttr” . It was posted on 22 Mar 2006 at 2:20 AM by @Jack , the Co-founder and CEO of @Twitter. But we are not asking about the first tweet but we are asking about the first tweet which has the hashtag “FirstTweet” in the tweet.

The You must have noticed that when you first signed up on Twitter, twitter gives you an option to send a default tweet which comes with a hashtag #FirstTweet. But do you know that who was the first human who first uses this hashtag called “FirstTweet” ? Why not to show you that tweet than telling you the name. So, here is the first ever tweet with #FirstTweet.
