Recently Twitter's been a transformative force in many revolutions in the Middle East and around the world. But Twitter isn't just a modern phenomenon, it's actually been around for thousands of years and had an effect on many of the biggest moments in the history of our species.
Abraham Lincoln
Oh, how wrong he was.
Julius Caesar
At least he tried to open his heart to his friends. Too bad they went and stabbed it a buttload.
George Bush Jr.
Unfortunately for Iraq, it hadn't gotten Twitter yet.
The 1997 Academy Awards
A simple joke that spun WAY out of control.
Twilight
And thus the role of Edward Cullen went to Robert Pattinson.
Nixon
If only no one had replied to his tweet, he might still be president even now.
The Cuban Missile Crisis
The Yo Mama joke that almost destroyed the planet. As a side note they did end up having an ice cream party together, and it went off without a hitch!
