It's the ultimate #ThrowbackThursday.
Today, the White House is unveiling its first social media archive, courtesy of the start-up ArchiveSocial. It features more than 250,000 publicly searchable postings, photos, and videos compiled from more than 100 White House social media profiles from 2009 through 2016.
To win the bid to archive the first family's social media content, CEO Anil Chawla sent an email to a White House staffer in August 2016. "The email worked: I emphasized that this was not about revenue for us, but our belief in the mission and the fact that our technology surpasses any other way to do it," Chawla tells CNBC.
"Storing these records and making them available underscores the reality that social media might now be the most important way that the leader of the free world communicates," Chawla says.
Indeed, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter have become critical communication tools for the President and First Lady. The White House says that Obama "is the first 'social media president.'" And he won't be the last: For President-elect Donald Trump, Twitter is a primary tool of communication.
Here are 10 of the most memorable moments of the Obama administration's last eight years as broadcast on social media. Warning: Some of them are likely to give you the feels.
