Twitter's First Tweets Ever

I was reading an inspiring article by @dom on how twitter was born. (Thanks twitter trends)

But, what really caught my attention was Dom Sagolla's first twitter message:

@dom: oh this is going to be addictive

I thought to my self, how cool would it be to gather all of twitter founders' first messages.

founders = ["@Jack", "@Biz", "@Noah", "@Crystal", "@Jeremy", "@Adam", "@TonyStubblebine", "@Ev", "@Dom", "@Rabble", "@RayReadyRay", "@Florian", "@TimRoberts", "@Blaine"]

The problem was that the "since: until:" twitter's search parameters didn't really worked out for me, so with a little Ruby, Nokogiri, Sort & Awk magic the following twitter transcript was compiled:

It would be cool if Twitter can publish their own, more comprehensive list..
