Twitter: Are You Old School?

Are you an old school or new school Twitter user?  Twitter user ID’s appear to be assigned sequentially, meaning a lower number indicates that the user joined the service relatively early.  To find your user ID, visit your timeline on Twitter, click the RSS feed link, and look for a number in the URL.  For example, my feed uses this URL:

http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/917.atom

So, I was the 917th person to create an account on Twitter (back in October 2006 when it was called Twttr.com).  

What’s your number?
