In its five-year history, Twitter’s been used for inane updates on what was breakfast, as a vehicle for real-time news and as a way to spread revolutionary social ideas. On Tuesday, the service launched a new site, “Twitter Stories,” to share a handful of stunning ways that the micro-blogging service has made a positive impact on people’s lives.

The site even features the story of one man who found a kidney donor after tweeting, “[expletive], I need a kidney.”
