TODAY 9 YEARS AGO: I released "Twitter Submitter" - a way for people to use Twitter from within Windows *or* the command prompt. Nine years ago. December 10, 2006. A number of more well-known Twitter interfaces based themselves off of my initial thing. A few of them made money . I was cool with that smile emoticon Facebook was young then too. They'd JUST opened up FB to all users with valid email addresses but i remember when it was just for University emails... and I had to resurrect my old one from the dustbin just to get on. Never expected FB to take off... or Twitter.. but both did. https://simplify3.wordpress.com/2006/12/10/hello-world/
