Google joins Twitter

2 March 2009

I received an email newsletter today saying that Google has just joined Twitter, I assumed Google would already have been a member and I'd already be following them - but sure enough Google has only been a member on Twitter for about 3 days now.

When I had a look Google already has 35,000 followers - and after just 3 days, I'd say that's pretty impressive!

Google's first Twitter update says:

I'm 01100110 01100101 01100101 01101100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101100 01110101 01100011 01101011 01111001 00001010

Now I don't read binary, and I'm not sure whether my source is correct - but I have heard that this translates to "I'm feeling lucky".

When looking through the Twitter members that Google is following - it's very few compared to who's following them, but they're following Twitter members such as Yahoo and Live Search!

Here are some useful Twitter members who you should think about following:

Twitter really is growing fast, be a part of it.
