"Over the past decade"? Actually founded on March 21, 2006 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter) :)


Over the past eight years didn't sound as sexy.


Be very very careful with this sort of thing. Try "the better part of a decade" if you want a phrase with a similar ring but actual truth behind it.


"Over the past quasi-decade"


"Spanning two decades"


It would have been the truth.
