Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey celebrated the social media site’s ninth birthday today with a tweet storm about how much the media has meant to the site.
Not the most obvious way to celebrate Twitter’s birthday, right?
It does make sense in a way. A tweet storm is a nice (if cheap) way to thank the thousands of reporters, editors, anchors and other media people who’ve spent years providing free content, videos and promotion to Twitter. (To be fair, Twitter has provided a new distribution platform that has also helped plenty of media, including Re/code.)
Also, nice shout-out to Om Malik.

Contributions are a key part of the future of Vox
Readers rely on Vox for clear, nuanced coverage that not only illuminates the issues, but poses solutions, too. And we rely on help from our readers: Advertising and grants cover the majority of our costs, but we count on contributions to help us close the gaps in our budget. In fact, we’re looking to reach 95,000 individual contributions before the end of the year. Will you make the next contribution right now? Our average gift is just $20 — and it goes a long way in helping us keep our work free. Vox is here to help everyone understand what’s shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. Join that mission by making a contribution today.
