This is how you can travel back in time on Twitter

This is how you can travel back in time on Twitter


Let's be honest. In 2018, Twitter isn't great. It will show the tweets that all the accounts you follow tweeted at that date and in a linear timeline. The link that Andy shared takes you back to May 25, 2008, but you can change the date in the address bar if you wish. Just remember to hit 'latest' to see everything in order. https://t.co/41a6iQcYhc — Andy Baio (@waxpancake) May 24, 2018 Andy also shared a link to show what Twitter would have looked like only five years ago when the world still seemed like a decent place.

By the way, if you remove the date parameter from that search and click "Latest," you get a strict reverse-chronological timeline with no algorithm junk. Although this is great fun, we are sure that a lot of people are going to be frantically deleting all their old tweets now...
