@Alex: You’ve been out there a long time. I think Twitter went live in October 2006, so you’re definitely a long-time user, even if you don’t use it very much.

I agree that Eddie has done a lot to popularize Twitter among Oracle folks. He draws together the community at large and employees.

We’ll be using Twitter again this year at OOW to keep tabs on each other and the conference. Stay tuned.

My first mentioning of Twitter was on 5-Jan-07 and my first twitt was on 13-Dec-06.

If someone now tells me two keywords - Oracle and Twitter - my association would be Eddie Awad so I can’t believe my first twitt is actually few month older. Not that I’ve been sing it actively though, to say the least.

Agreed, I had the same experience, tried it, didn’t get, went back and built a decent network of people, then found value. That’s why it’s nice to have a list of people in a given interest area to start following. Just add water.

First you get the Twitter, then you get the network, then you get the power.

I was (very) skeptical about twitter, I tried it once and just didn’t get it. Then I gave it another go and this time found some interesting people to follow and it is addictive. I also like friendfeed.com a lot, nice ways for me to see th einteresting and useful things others are browsing. As I said in my post I don’t like digg, reddit and stumbleupon a whole lot, twitter feeds get me much better and more relevant content and that personal twist too.

Now I can follow some more of the Oracle folks on twitter and I just need a few more hours in the day to keep up with the stream

Technically, Craig’s eventtrack could be used to follow a group tweet-line. You’d just keep it turned on as long as you wanted to be part of the group. I’m not sure that’s what he intended, though.

Thanks for writing this post, Jake. Great to see that the number of Oracle tweeters, or is it twitterers :), is on the rise.

Here is my first ever tweet, it was on March 03, 2007: http://twitter.com/eddieawad/statuses/5823507 Who’s earlier?

By the way, if you are an Oracle tweeter, go ahead and follow http://twitter.com/oracle - if you have not done so already. @oracle will follow you back, resulting in this page http://twitter.com/oracle/with_friends which is as close as possible to an Oracle Twitter group.

@Tim: Sorry about dropping the last n in your name. I think each person would have to scroll back through their archives to the first post to get an idea of when they started. Do you know a faster way?

We could track most updates too. I’m at 892 now, so not that many.

Who’s the most senior Twitterer at Oracle (i.e. the earliest adopter)?

Hi Jake, good post. But from your list above, can you group the Oracle staff together? Then the Oracle friends, partners, analysts, etc?

A few Oracle staff members to add:

Mauricio Guzman @momktg
Barrett Louie @OracleBarrett
Nicole Fornacon @nicolemichele
Vijay Rajan @oraclevijay

Thanks @OracleJulio

Evan Williams and Biz Stone but to readers of my blog who may be able to help. Stuff I’d like An add in to Windows Live Messenger (perhaps a tab) that shows my Twitter timeline (aka Twhirl integrated to IM) A list of Microsoft Tweeters - c’mon, theOracle boys have one!A rock solid Windows Mobile client (though Twitter mobile via the browser is actually pretty good) that’s all for now. I’m still enjoying the Twitter ride and slowly but surely my friends like
