First Tweet Ever Made

This is the first tweet ever made -- Or at least the oldest tweet that is not removed -- And was tweeted from one of the co-founders of Twitter. Link here: https://twitter.com/jack/status/20


The second oldest tweet was from one of the other co-founders, and now the Creative Director of Twitter, Inc. Link here: https://twitter.com/biz/status/21
Even the third tweet was from one of the co-founders, Noah Glass. Link here: https://twitter.com/noah/status/22


There were four co-founders of Twitter. The fourth co-founder who maybe didn't care tweeting about "setting up twttr" was Evan Williams -- Or maybe he just removed the tweet in retrospect.

The next four tweets was not from a co-founder, but was also exactly the words "just setting up my twttr" and can be found here:

It's been a few years ago since Twitter was created. And yes, by that time, Twitter was named "twttr." I think that these tweets was a very boring start of Twitter, and it almost feels like the tweets were tweeted automatically. Who knows, perhaps the seven oldest tweets who still are not removed, were not even tweeted manually. I think that's the truth about the start of Twitter.

Twitter shuffles the deck

Twitter founders, Jack and Ev have traded places. Twitter Chairman Evan Williams will now become CEO and CEO Jack Dorsey is now the Chairman. Now Ev will manage the day to day affairs at Twitter. The third founder, Biz Stone said, “We had two very strong leaders here and we really needed to choose one,”Board member Fred Wilson said,“We all think Ev is a better fit to lead the company from a product perspective, an operations perspective, and a business standpoint,” You can read the details in the NY Times bits column.

The news was announced on the Twitter blog today.  In the co-founder's characteristic minimalist styles, you can see their reactions in their tweets:
