My first tweet was: Editing a story.






Hi! I'm Buffy. I'm not a vampire slayer but I do love sinking my teeth into social media -- from Facebook to Foursquare. I hope you join me as I explore the digital landscape and have some fun along the way.


I just requested mine. Gosh, I hope it was better than yours, but I’m worried …
And it was:
York (Pa.) Daily Record/Sunday News open records blog now live at http://www.yorkblog.com/record/; open records site at inyork.com/ydr/records.
Latter is an old link now — it’s ydr.com/datacenter.
I’m late playing along, but mine was on October 10, 2008: Finally decided I needed my own Twitter, not just the @ydrcom that I manage for my job.
My first tweet was March 16, 2009: http://tinyurl.com/dz4ycq Wow, can’t believe it’s been that long. Still a good story, though.
