Celebrities on Twitter: 30 Famous First Tweets

When Twitter was born in 2006, it asked a simple question: “What are you doing?”

In November 2009, the prompt changed to “What’s happening?” The subtle difference paved the way for Twitter’s explosive growth and use as a real-time information network. The site has grown into a platform whereby people exchange links, share photos, break news and learn. No one cares if you’re eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich; we do care what article you’re reading, what products you’re playing with, and what you think about President Obama’s latest speech.
Unlike Facebook, Twitter enables us to engage with public figures, from bubble-gum pop singers to heads of state — they’re all on there. We thought it’d be fun to take a look back and see what celebrities first tweeted when they joined the site. Some got the hang of it, others poked fun at it, some were witty, and one didn’t even know “wtf i’m doing” (thanks, Snooki!).
Read on for some of our favorites.

Neil Patrick Harris




The actor formerly known as "Doogie Howser" -- who's experienced a comeback of sorts on How I Met Your Mother -- joined Twitter with a comedic message that pokes fun at the 140-character limit.

Ashton Kutcher




Kutcher, who's acting career has taken a backseat to Nikon peddling and his interactive agency, Katalyst Media, is one of the early Twitter celebrities. Two years ago, Kutcher was in a race with CNN to be the first person to reach one million followers, which he did on April 16, 2009. This moment was an indication that Twitter had gone mainstream, and Kutcher went on Oprah that week to help Winfrey post her first tweet.But Kutcher had humble beginnings -- his first tweet merely expressed that he was sharing his first tweet.

Oprah Winfrey




Oprah came on board on April 17, 2009, with the help of Ashton Kutcher and Twitter co-founder Evan Williams. Days later, it was announced that Winfrey's segment generated a 43% spike in traffic on the microblogging site.

Tom Hanks




Veteran actor Tom Hanks made a charming entry with his first tweet on January 11, 2010 -- the classic mic joke.

Britney Spears




Like much of her career, Britney Spears' first tweet on October 10, 2008, seems to have been handled by her management team. It's a straightforward welcome to Britney's Twitter world.

Barack Obama




Obama joined Twitter two months after he announced his candidacy for the 2008 presidential election. Appropriately, his first tweet was optimistic and self-promotional, including a plug for his website.

Roger Ebert




Film critic Roger Ebert is one of the more insightful, poignant tweeters on the social platform, and he's been that way since he joined the network. His first tweet on October 4, 2009, was a touching comment on aging.

Conan O'Brien




Funnyman Conan O'Brien first tweeted on February 24, 2010. It was in the aftermath of the NBC shakeup that booted the redhead from The Tonight Show and launched his fan-powered social media presence.

Charlie Sheen




Sheen launched a #winning social media campaign by joining Twitter on March 1, 2010. He went on to garner a Guinness World Record for "Fastest Time to Reach One Million Followers" in just over 25 hours.

Queen Rania




The beauty of Twitter is that it enables us to communicate with celebrities, politicians and even royalty. Queen Rania joined Twitter on May 7, 2009. Since then, she has explored Twitter as a diplomatic tool, even posting a Twitvid to promote tourism in Jordan.

NASA




NASA launched a Twitter account to share news of space exploration, historical tidbits and shuttle updates. Its first tweet, on December 20, 2007, reminisced about the launch of Apollo 17.

Clarence House




Clarence House's first tweet came on November 15, 2010 -- just one day before the announcement that Prince William and Kate Middleton were engaged. It's almost like they knew word of the Royal Wedding would spread quickly on Twitter...

Lady Gaga




Lady Gaga loves her "little monsters," but her first tweet came before she knew of "The Fame" that would come her way. Gaga tweeted about rehearsing for a music video and performing at a party -- appropriate for the "What's happening?" prompt.

Hugo Chavez




Twitter, of course, isn't just a tool for English speakers. Last year, a study found that just 50% of tweets are in English. Thus, it's no surprise that just as President Obama tweets, so too does Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. His first tweet, on April 28, 2010, reads: "Hey how's it going? I appeared like I said I would: at midnight. I'm off to Brazil. And very happy to work for Venezuela. We will be victorious!!"

Snooki




The Jersey Shore's most famous guidette made a splash with her honest and oh-so-typical first tweet on April 3, 2009.

Zappos




Zappos' CEO Tony Hsieh has himself become a brand, and though he peddles shoes, Zappos has become synonymous with impeccable customer service and "delivering happiness." Zappos first tweeted on March 8, 2008, during SXSW, although Hsieh's first tweet indicates confusion about how to follow.

David Pogue




New York Times tech reporter David Pogue first tweeted on October 19, 2007, dropping a line about heading to a tech expo in the morning.

Steve Martin




Steve Martin's first tweet on September 11, 2010 proves that Twitter is a great platform for pithy punchlines.

Kesha




Kesha of "Tik Tok" fame took her 'tude to Twitter on March 23, where her handle is @keshasuxx. Keeping her habits of odd characters and intentional misspellings of words, her first tweet makes little sense.

Bill Gates




Tech honcho Bill Gates jumped on the bandwagon relatively early. On February 9, 2007, he suggested that Microsoft get in on the Twitter game, perhaps foreseeing the platform's rise to prominence.

Jack Dorsey




Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey sent the very first tweet on March 21, 2006 - the first of many billions to come.

Dalai Lama




Though the Dalai Lama is known for peace, serenity and holiness, that didn't stop him from joining Twitter. His first tweet, on February 22, 2010, served as a modern day press release -- he announced an appearance and provided a link.

Martha Stewart




The domestic goddess Martha Stewart could barely contain her excitement about "using Twitter for the first time!" on February 20, 2009. It's reminiscent of the tone she used in Twitter's fifth birthday video.

Bill Cosby




Jello-peddling, sweater-sporting Bill Cosby changed "sweet" to "tweet" in his first 140-character update on July 7, 2009.

Richard Branson




Billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson is known for being an outdoorsy thrillseeker, but his first tweet shows a softer side. On October 22, 2008, Branson tweeted about his children, Holly and Sam, and how they're "coping" as they sought to break the trans-Atlantic sailing record.

White House




President Obama has his own Twitter account, and so too does his home. On May 1, 2009, the White House established that @whitehouse is the official feed of the presidential residence.

Twitter




It seems pretty meta, but Twitter tweets, too. On July 11, 2007 -- more than a year into Twitter's existence -- the company tweeted about working on mobile apps Hahlo and Pocket Tweets.

Mark Zuckerberg




Zuckerberg joined the Twitterverse on February 12, 2009, but it seems like he's chosen his own social network over Twitter -- he hasn't tweeted since March 13, 2009.

Justin Bieber




Before Bieber Fever infected the Twitterverse, the teen idol used Twitter to direct fans to his MySpace page. His first tweet, on May 12, 2009, was a promotion for his then-new single, "One Time."

Facebook Send Button

The Send Button allows your users to easily send your content to their friends. People will have the option to send your URL in an inbox message to their Facebook friends, to the group wall of any Facebook group they are a member of, and as an email to any email address. While the Like Button allows users to share your content with all of their friends, the Send Button allows them to send a private message to just a few friends.
The message will include a link to the URL specified in the send button, along with a title, image, and short description of the link. You can specify what is shown for the title, image, and description by using Open Graph meta tags.

Get a combined Like and Send button

You can implement the send button on its own, but if you also want a Like button on your site, you can simply addsend=true as an attribute to the Like button. This will render the Like button and Send button next to each other. Find the documentation on the Like button page.

Get a standalone Send button


 
Get Code

Attributes

  • href - the URL to send.
  • font - the font to display in the button. Options: 'arial', 'lucida grande', 'segoe ui', 'tahoma', 'trebuchet ms', 'verdana'
  • colorscheme - the color scheme for the like button. Options: 'light', 'dark'
  • ref - a label for tracking referrals; must be less than 50 characters and can contain alphanumeric characters and some punctuation (currently +/=-.:_). Specifying the ref attribute will add the 'fb_ref' parameter to the referrer URL when a user clicks a link from the plugin.

FAQ

How do I know when someone sends a message from the plugin?

You can subscribe to the 'message.send' event through FB.Event.subscribe.

How do I display the Send button in different languages?

If you are using the XFBML version include the language code when you instantiate the library. Replace ‘en_US’ in this line with the correct locale code:
'//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
If you are using the Iframe version include a locale parameter with the proper country code in the src URL. Example:
src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/send.php?locale=fr_FR&..."
You may need to adjust the width of the Like button to accommodate different languages.

What is the best way to know which plugin on my site generated the traffic?

We report referral clicks on the Insights dashboard. In the coming weeks we will add the 'ref' parameter to the plugin (see "Attributes" above).
Examples:
<fb:send ref="homepage"></fb:send>
When a user clicks a link on the plugin, we will pass back the ref value as a fb_ref parameter in the referrer URL. Example:
http://www.facebook.com/l.php?fb_ref=homepage
This is coming soon.

Optimizes Google Earth for Android tablets

Google has updated its version of Google Earth for Android to take advantage of the large screen and processing power of the tablets. 

In a blog post yesterday, product manager Peter Birch said the update adds support for texture and 3D buildings and a new action bar so it is easier to search and browse the images layers. Google Earth started life as the company's virtual world, but now incorporates street-level images and even extends into space.
"Going from a mobile phone to one tablet was like going from a regular movie theater, IMAX," wrote Birch, noting its particular affection for exploring Rome's Colosseum to the tool. "We take the larger screen size, including features like the content of the popup windows that appear in view of the Earth, so you can see more information without having to switch back and forth between the pages."
The new version of Google Earth for Android will run on all devices that use version 2. 1 or more mobile operating system. The tablet features are available for devices that use the "honeycomb" Android OS 3.0, which is the first optimized version of Google for tablets.

Facebook allows friends @ Mention tags to shorten



Once Facebook users have marked a friend in a post or comment, type the @ symbol or part of its name and selecting the name of a menu, which now can shorten the label by removing parts of the name of friend. Previously, users had to leave the full name or label does not appear as an active link and trigger a notification of that friend. Facebook has also launched an enhanced version of suggestions from friends labels automatically when users type the name of a friend with a capital letter, but did not use the @ symbol. 
 

shortening tag allows users to keep the labels short positions, increasing the likelihood that they will be read instead of skim milk by. It also keeps tabs too formal for the interruption of the otherwise informal messages or comments. 

Facebook extends its photo tagging feature, which has proved very viral, to allow the labeling of friends, Pages, Events, Groups and more status updates in September 2009. In March, Facebook allowed markup in the comments. The Facebook app for Android allows users to tag friends in the seats, but the option is not available in the Facebook for iPhone, other mobile applications native or m.facebook.com. 

Facebook automatically verifies that shows the marked fall down when people capitalize the first letter of a word in August, but users have often not bothered about labels to a friend. Facebook software engineer Tom Occhino now tells us that this feature has been fully deployed, but we have found is set to show only the suggested tags when users enter five or more characters of the name of a friend, or type a name complete is less than 5 characters. This should help expose the role of brands mentioned the names of friends in the seats, but do not really labeled. 

When users tag a friend in a message is highlighted. Now users can delete the end or beginning of the label as the name or surname, but the remaining parts of the name still highlighted, and displayed as links once the message is published. 

If a friend has more than two names, a label may be reduced to adjacent names, ie, users could leave the first and middle name or the name, but can not eliminate the middle name. Note that labels only friends can be shortened, the tabs of pages - the page labels, Events, Groups, Facebook and other properties become inactive if a user attempts to shorten. 

Users sometimes text messages such heavy reading their news service, so the ability to clip the labels should increase commitment to tagged items. 
 
Facebook often strives to imitate the physical world communication in the design of their products. When speaking of a friend in a conversation with friends in common that they often use only part of his name, but use the full name when talking about those not familiar with that person. Now, the same option to choose which part of a name is mentioned in the context function is available on the mailing label.
