My first Tweet: October 24, 2006
According to the TwitterFacts Blog, the first tweets of Twitter were sent three years ago today. I started using it 6 months after, but I didn't truly adopt the tool until 6 months later.
What and when was your first tweet?

My first tweet, July 5, 2007: researching relevance of twitter to nonprofit community for blog.
This was before I started using @smartsculture rather than @maryanndevine. Still have no idea how I can stream one feed to the other.

Since Twitter.com changed its method of finding historic tweets from "pages" to that streaming "more" button, I have no idea how to calculate time to know the page.

Haha, my first tweet was HTML code. So you definitely beat me. :)

boring first post. "New web site needs bargains and freebies." 2nd one better. "I seem to be getting sick. This is nonsense up with which I will not put."

My first tweet was only two months ago and was similar to yours--along the lines of "trying to figure out how to use this thing!" Kind of the Twitter equivalent to trying to record a personal message on your phone answering machine for the first time and saying "Hello? Hello?"

August 11, 2007: "home today from TPC with a stomach virus... ugh"
Then it was like 2 tweets a month for a little while until 2008. So I'm sort of Twitter tween?

"checking out WordPress 2.2" - on may 17th, 2007.
figures it would have something to do with WordPress
Thanks for helping me feel some Twitter nostalgia. I just went back and bookmarked some significant tweets from my time on Twitter. Like when my son was born. - http://tinyurl.com/dkp3be
