It also turns out that I joined Twitter seven years ago yesterday. (And another friend joined a year after that, as we discussed over the weekend)
I hadn’t appreciated that Twitter gained over 2 million users in its first year (It must’ve done, because my user ID is just under 2,000,500)
However, in that next year, it gained another 26 million users – my friend’s user ID is just under 28,100,000.
And now the new user IDs are coming close to 2 and a half billion – a recent one I created (for another project) was just under 2,400,000,000!
That really is quite huge.
NewlyWeds
Posted: Thu 25 March, 2010 Filed under: Geeky, Media, Technology, Twitter Leave a comment »One of the funniest Twitter things this year was NewlywedsOnTJob , a prank by a best-man, automatically recording every time the newly-married couple went at it – start, stop, times, “frenzy index”, “Judge’s review”, the lot. It was very funny to just get the updates saying they were at it again – sometimes in the middle of the working day – and ended up with twenty-odd thousand followers all told.
Things went quiet at the end of February, when Best Man had said he’d be telling the groom about the prank. I hadn’t heard anything, so today did a quick search and found the end of the NewlyWedsonTJob story at I Am Staggered.
It’s well worth the read – made me laugh, anyway.
