Mine was "Janet Frasier is glad I finally learned to spell inauguration!"

I first heard about Twitter on NPR's TechNation in 2007. I thought to myself, "Okay, that's it. This tech thing has gone too far. These people need to get a life." Well, here I am. Twitter has taken off -- and perhaps peaked!
But it was on Inauguration Day 2009. I was watching the gathering of the millions on the Mall, knowing that a half of dozen friends were there. I wanted to be a part of it! I wanted to be connected with them right then, right now! Jumping on Facebook on Election Night last November was so fun -- watching status comments updating literally every second as Facebook friends were reacting to the election results! It was truly "being a part of something bigger".
So, knowing it was too late to connect with friends on Inauguration Day, I activated my Twitter account, made the commitment to "find my voice", and I'm ready for the next big thing! Next time, I'll have a front row Twitter seat!!
Oh, and the Utah Museum of Natural History's first Twitter was:
