The Design Community’s First Tweets
posted in BloggingI recently found a website that allows you to see the first tweet sent out by typing in the person’s user name. Now that most of us have been using Twitter for at least a year, it seemed like a good time to take a look back at some of your first tweets!
Unfortunately, it doesn’t allow you to see the first tweet if that person has over 3,500 updates, so I apologize to the likes of Calvin (@mayhemstudios) and others that I could not list here. I wonder if there are better Twitter tools for finding people’s first tweets? Let me know in the comments.
@brianyerkes: “Working on a post for BrianJosephStudios.com”
@DavidAirey: “Just starting out with Twitter” (wow, insightful David. Nice one 
)
@randaclay: “I’m trying to write an article comparing Twitter, Pownce, Jaiku and Tumblr. It’s taking me too long…” (I accuse Randa of deleting her first ever tweet! Randa, please comment )
@idesignstudios: “The new web site is now officially LIVE! I would love to get your feedback! http://www.idesignstudios.com”
@blogdesigner: “I believe it’s important for your twitter account design to match your website design. Anyone else agree? Branding … 
”
@catascraft: “I’m making a little book with a scrapbook papers. hello from Tuscany”
@designsheffield: “giving twitter the Design Sheffield treatment.”
@aaroni268: “working on an Admin User Interface”
@ffffffive: “Designing in school”
@coryobrien: “Learning Twitter.”
@davidwalshblog: “Working on the new design. Will incorporate Twitter. Sweet!”
@StaciEmery: “HELLO ALL! THANKS FOR LETTING ME FOLLOW YOU ” (Staci decided to shout her first tweet!)
@adamcoomes: “Everyone should speak English. It’s the best language.”
@chrisspooner: “is getting used to this Twitter malarky!”
@bluewavemedia: “Deloping Marketing Campaigns” (I wish I knew how to “Delope” marketing campaigns! )
@downersteve: “Okay, I’m here! Everybody can just CALM DOWN now.” (hahaha,that’s great Steve!)
@chriscoyier: “Snowed in. Video games.”
and my favorite first tweet is from @seanHodge:
“I just got set up on twitter. This will be great.”
Yes it will Sean!
What was your first tweet? Post it in the comments below and let’s turn this into a huge list!
LOL Brian, you make me laugh. I guess that was my first Tweet, back when I thought Twitter was lame and I just signed up so I could write a post about it.
Man, this is awesome! I remember when I was typing each character to lol. I was indeed designing in school Thanks for having me listed Brian.
David’s has to be the best.
I’m disgusted with myself for not giving Twitter the capital T it deserves.
I’m equally disgusted, Abbas. It’s a good thing Brian thought it appropriate to name and shame.
Hey, I placed the very insightful “blogging and surfing the web” into the history books of Twitter back in Feb. 2008 as my first tweet.
“beautiful label design over at http://tinyurl.com/5j9z83 – I saw it over at ffffound, too”
Not exactly an insight about what I was up to, though!
“Catching up on everything after being away for 3 weeks. ”
For all those that cared… I really didn’t get Twitter back then.
Insightful post Brian
My first tweet was to a friend.At that time I didn’t knew that there is limitation in words in the tweet message.I got to know it and really took some time to mould my tweets within that frame.
