As a social media tool that analyzes Twitter we know all about @paraga. Well, all this can be known through the tweets and information his profile reveals. For instance, thanks to a Tweet Binder account report we know how many tweets Parag has shared so far. Also, his tweets with the highest number of likes or retweets. In addition, we are going to revise when did @paraga joined Twitter and which was the first tweet he ever shared. With the account report, we easily found it:

And although the tweet’s date is from 2010, we know the exact day when @paraga joined Twitter. In fact, Parag Agrawal has been part of Twitter since the 23rd of April 2008. With the timeline of the Tweet Binder report we know @paraga was way more active from 2010 to 2012 than after that period of time.

From the 3,241 tweets in @paraga’s timeline it is curious to find out that 773 appear as shared through Echofon.
