Meet Download Squad's very first Twitter follower, and find yours, too
You never forget your first. Well, okay, maybe sometimes you do. I don't think many people could tell you who their very first Twitter follower was, but a new service called FirstFollower can. Put in your username, and it will show you the username of the first person who ever started following you. It's the inverse of MyFirstFollow, which shows you the first person you followed who you still follow today.
When I saw FirstFollower, I got a bit curious about Download Squad's most loyal Twitter fan, so I put our @downloadsquad account into the system. Meet @swirlee, our first follower! Actually, he's Jordan Running, who served as Download Squad's lead blogger until Grant Robertson took the reins in February 2007. I guess we can't really give a prize to the guy who set up our account in the first place, so ... can someone start SecondFollower.com?
Maybe your first follower is weirder than ours. Got any good stories? Post them in the comments!

Apparently my first follower was @TheOnion. I'm such a loser...

Yep, and MY first follower was DLS's own @JasonClarke.

My first follower was a girl called debbiedoestwitter4u. She was following so many people, I felt honoured she spent the time sending me links, well.. link. It wasn't a very talkative relationship but I knew she was shy. Despite that there was this connection between us. and then she was gone, account removed, probably mistakenly. I often wonder where debbie is now.
