I Wrote Twitter 20 Years Ago!

Twenty years ago, I wrote a FoxPro app where you log notes. It was a multi-user database app designed to facilitate communication between the developers and testers on the team. I called it COLT (an acronym for Come on, let's talk!). A "browse" window would update and show you new messages. You could even reply to messages (threads).

So I wrote Twitter 20 years ago! Great ideas take a while to catch on I guess.

I can imagine how you felt when Twitter came along after your invention of COLT. You have it within you to create something wonderful that will catch on and be very successful, I believe in you. If I come up with any ideas, they are yours.
