Item 00957, from the first week

One tweet from the top-100 river, as its 2009 discussion page showed it. The comment thread below it was loaded from Disqus and wasn't saved.

Two days after item 00009 the counter had already passed 950.

Every tweet that reached the top-100 table got a page like this one: the tweet as a headline and a comment thread underneath. On the table itself, the time next to each tweet linked here. Early pages like this lived under 100twt.com/discuss/; within days the same pages were served from their own subdomain, discuss.100twt.com.

The archive kept the page itself, but not the conversation. Disqus loaded comments with a script after the page arrived, and the Internet Archive's crawler saved the page without them. Whether anyone replied to this tweet is not recorded.
