A year of tweets from @WadeOnTweets

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

I started using Twitter on Feb. 4, 2009. As @WadeOnTweets, it’s been a great way to stay informed, connect with old friends and complete strangers and let people into my life.

I’ve been lucky enough to attract more than 1,700 followers and spout off nearly 9,300 tweets. I put together this short video to show my favorite tweets from the past year.
