Three years ago today I signed up for twitter. My first tweet was very grand:
Signing up for twitter, duh.

Three years. That’s pretty cool. 2,000 tweets in that time.
Happy Twitterversary!
I asked the Internet expert Ken Ivey the following question: ————— This is my 3rd year on twitter. The traditional gift for three-year anniversaries is leather. Would make a good three-year twitterversary gift? A watch that can tweet? A leather belt with the twitter bird as the buckle? ————— According to Ken’s profile at http://www.allexperts.com/ep/3247-82048/Internet-Beginners/Ken-Ivey.htm he has have over 20 years of practical experience with web-related issues, and some military computer training. Maybe he’ll recommend a nice military angle.
Ken the internet expert answered my question! http://www.allexperts.com/user.cgi?m=6&catID=3247&expID=82048&qID=4914393 ———- Hmmm. Great question, Matt. How about a custom leather-themed background for your Twitter page? That could be cool. Perhaps a leather ‘friendship’ bracelet adorned with Twitter bling. You might even see if Twitter would foot the bill. Couldn’t hurt to try. Have a great day – Ken ———-
