Irish Twitter “Early Adopters”

Today’s Twitterers stats show who first twigged to the whole scene.  You may say, “hang on a minute, @Blaine isn’t Irish”.  Well although he’s from BC, Canada and has lived recently in San Fran, our investigations put him at a desk beside @Maureen in Belfast (despite his geo location putting him in Barcelona).  So at least while’s he’s in Belfast and organising stuff there, we’re going to consider him Irish, unless he asks us not to!  One of the reasons himself and Maureen were so quick on the uptake of Twitter was that Blaine (don’t know about Maureen) worked as a coder for Twitter.

The others on the list lie in that space between entrepreneurial visionaries and uber geek.

If you can’t find yourself in the top 100 then you may see yourself in the top 1000: as per usual we are putting a CSV file with the top 1000 here.
