Digging Deep into History – My First Tweet
I’ve been using Twitter more over the last few weeks – this is pretty obvious when you take a look at the graph from TwitterCounter.com:
Once I started to tweet more, my follower count went up.
While playing around with different Twitter tools, I came across MyTweet16.com, which allows you to display the first 16 tweets of any Twitter user. I of course was curious about what I had to say when I first signed up for my account.
What I found was pretty interesting: For my very first tweet, I did not use any of the “normal” ways to use Twitter: It was not the web interface or any of the established Twitter clients – instead, I used a program that I wrote myself. I completely forgot about that. Who else can say that they tweeted first with something they created (besides Biz Stone and Jack Dorsey, the founders of Twitter)?
I used the book Creating Mashups with Adobe Flex and AIR (Friends of Ed Abobe Learning Library)
So, without any further ado, here is my first tweet (copy&pasted from MyTweet16.com:
Playing with Flex for the first time (that's how I twittered this). 12:33 PM Jun 3rd 2008
I actually singed up for Twitter just to use these examples.
