6 Companies who probably don't remember their first Tweet? #WCA14

Do you remember your first Tweet? Most people probably don't and indeed most companies probably don't, so with a gratuitous link to this years World Communication Awards (entries opened this week) we decided to use Twitters Discover tool to see what the first Tweet was of 6 notable companies - the Best Global Operator finalists from 2013.

So starting at the top, with last year's winner, Orange Business Services, who even in 2009 were concerned by data protection.

Orange have since clearly worked hard at their Twitter account +orangebusiness and have 107,000 followers and according to @tweetstats produce an average 207 tweets per month, getting replies to over 27% of them - clearly the work of a leader!

The first tweets of the rest of the shortlist are in the slidedeck below:

So practising what we preach, what about @totaltelecom? We produced our first Tweet way back in January 2009, proving our cutting edge credentials, beating all of the above bar AT&T, but in classic Total Telecom style, the subject was a less serious "Merry Christmas & Happy New Year"...
