@dcap’s Twitstory Thoughts + 3 Cool Discoveries

October 10, 2009

Before Oprah and that Ashton guy joined, I was a Twitter OG. Back in 2007, none of my friends were using the microblogging service and I was sending updates into the ether that weren’t benefitting me very much.

Today I took my little sister to see the Coney Island Mermaid Parade.
