Posted in GETV Episode by ekai on the February 16th, 2009

Now that Twitter has hit the mainstream, let’s find out how the masses use their beloved service. In this first episode of two, we stop by the Twestival event to discover what some San Francisco tweetizens’ first Twitter posts were as well as how some use the service in more intimate of ways. You’ll need to watch to get the dirt. If you have no idea what any of this means, it’s time to come out of hibernation. The cave is a cold and lonely place. What was your first tweet? Tell us in the comments.

irinaslutsky

dont do it sargent, since if you sign up for it and then dont use it its worse than having never signed up for it at all

DocPop

I think my first tweet was sent from the stage at the Climate Theater. I was on stage with Beefy and MC Router as part of our Mediocre Tour.

Jarod

Before During or After.... Hilarious.

Mark Schoneveld

Irina, I think you'll really like my first Tweet: http://twitter.com/povertyjetset/status/2946203

"The first tweet, is it always a meta tweet? because that is in fact, what I am doing. Shuffling Twits."

The over analysis and dry humor very much in character.

Also, OCD.

edrabbit

As with all services, my first tweet (http://twitter.com/edrabbit/status/7103851) was looking for something to replace the awful default profile icon.

krystyl

LOVE it! <3

Bryan J Busch

First twitter entry: "considering an HDTV projector"

pyroonaswing

my first tweet is pretty generic.

"surfing the world wide web. should be going to sleep soon.
4:00 AM Mar 30th, 2008 from web"

shakmbakm

woot UAT

Han

I refuse to believe that Kevin Rose is a virgin.
I bet the Virgin America guy paid Rose to say that...

aliciarenee

my first tweet:
"fuming. de-fuming. scouring. working. still waiting for a call.
4:22 PM Jan 16th, 2007 from web"

but before/during/after? lol! (great query Irina)

my 2nd tweet was re: a heavy-duty breakup, which I pissed & moped about for a goodly while...& since I haven't even tweeted making out-statuses, nevermind shagging nor dating for that matter.

richard and maureen

In regard to the sex/twitter question:

Richard: Before and after (there's about 10 minutes between the two tweets).
Maureen: Not twittering much these days.
Richard: I could stretch it out to 15 minutes, if I concentrate, really.

p.s Maureen says "I was just wearing my red vloggies show shirt the other day. Made me think of Irina."
