A Twip (Twitter) down memory lane

November 17th, 2008 by Andy Merchant

Just going over some of my old bookmarks and I found one that rather amused me entitled @ Replys for Twitter - by The social networking weblog.

Very relevant at the time but now seems incredible considering the massive success of Twitter. The post is dated December 26, 2007, so less than a year old, which seems remarkable given the fact that Twitter seems to have been around for years and the endless number of applications that have been made for it over the past 12 months or so.

The post goes on to talk about how to set up your @ replies on Twitter which is now obviously one of the main everyday reasons for using the tool - personally I think this post should go into the archive for social media and web 2.0 classic blog posts!
