Friday afternoon, around 3pm (CST), a simple 130 character message was sent out to the Twitter world. This simple tweet, one of millions sent out that hour, set in motion a series of events that would forever change a young girl’s life and made for a very entertaining weekend. The message (shown below) was sent out by none-other than Conan O’Brien, who recently began his own Twitter account (@ConanOBrien) and amassed over 500,000 followers in record time.
Conan's Tweet About His New Friend Sarah
What makes this tweet so unique is that it was Conan’s first follow. Until that point, Conan had only posted a handful of tweets, and had established a giant audience (580,000 followers) that was anxiously waiting to see what he would do next. What many of us did not realize is Conan had not followed a single person to that point. It is as if Conan had announced a new show, built a beautiful new set, filled the seats with thousands of fans and only done his opening monologue. It took several weeks for him to announce his first guest on this new stage…. LovelyButton.
