First Tweet - Who Said It First on Twitter is a nice tool which makes it really easy to find out who first used a particular word or phrase on Twitter. You could always do this by going to Topsy and running an 'all time' search and resort according to oldest first. A few examples...
The first mention of 'CILIP' was from @davinagifford back in Jun 2007, and the first use of #CILIP wasn't until @lisaburscheidt used it in February 2009. #Savelibraries first got mentioned by @WildWildSound in June 2009.
It's a fun little tool and one of those Friday afternoon 'Oh, I'll just try one more word' resources. However, it's got a serious useful side if you're researching a particular event or company for example.
