The power of Twitter was evident yesterday when a certain couple posted a photo of their newborn daughter on the micro-blogging site. Victoria Beckham tweeted a photo of her husband David giving their newborn daughter, Harper Seven, an eskimo kiss with the caption 'Daddy's little girl'. Within minutes the snap had been retweeted by thousands of users across the world. While we don't have the exact figure of how many times the photo was retweeted below are a few more interesting statistics about Twitter:
- Twitter celebrated its fifth birthday last week
