Twitter’s been having a good week. First co-founder Biz Stone announced that they had been granted a patent on the invention of the service, and now they’re celebrating their seventh birthday. Twitter is seven years old? Now doesn’t that make you feel old? It definitely makes me feel old.

From the olympics to the election to devastating tragedies and Oprah joining Twitter, it’s all here. Take a look:
