 @bastianallgeier @chucker I was there 74 years ago! SMS was *definitely* a thing. I joined Twitter back on a dumb flip phone and had several people I followed through SMS primarily. An early use of Twitter was for arranging meetups in places like PAX and SMS following was quite handy for that. I probably still have one or two rarely/never Tweet accounts with SMS follow on. 2 comments
 @max @bastianallgeier it’s funny; my Twitter account is from Jan ‘07 (and only because I waffled for a few months) but I don’t think I *ever* used the SMS gateway. I did use Twitterriffic* extremely early on long before anyone knew what a hashtag was. We would also say twoosh! when we hit exactly 140 chars. * I also did some method-swizzling to add my own enhancements, called Twittereeze. My marketing head has since been fired. |

@bastianallgeier @chucker Also, I used SMS primarily to send tweets for years after I had a smartphone. First out of habit, then out of some issues with some clients, then out of the convenience to dictate Tweets out hands free by early proto-voice assistants.
Just checked and Twitter’s SMS number is still in my contacts list. Good old 40404
