Ari Herzog

My first tweet from @ariherzog was on September 30, 2009 but I can’t link to it because it’s not there. I initially joined Twitter on April 5, 2007 but I can’t link to that either because that account was deleted in 2009.).

The content creator rarely knows if someone lurks. Here’s an archive of those posts. Delurking sounds scary but it is not.
