Craig Hockenberry recalls the origin of the term “tweet”:
It still feels strange to hear a word I helped create be mentioned over and over again in the media. It’s a great word to go along with a great service, and in the end, I’m just happy we’re not calling each other twits!
Hockenberry works at Iconfactory and invented Twitterific. You may not know that, in addition to coining the term tweet, Iconfactory was also the first to use a bird logo for Twitter.
