AOL in this list would make a lot more sense if it could track how long it's been since you deleted your account.

Did you try clicking it? you might be surprised.

Hahaha, zinged.

I remember reading a quote that facebook IDs don't even come in any particular order now. So how does this determine if I'm an early adopter of fb?

Facebook's user id system is not linear (although it used to be so on a per-school basis) http://www.quora.com/What-is-the-history-of-Facebooks-user-I...

Interesting. We had some idea it wasn't totally linear but thought that the numbers (particularly for those that joined after college) had some validity. Do you have any thoughts on how to come up with a better algorithm given Facebook's ID system?

There's a comment string below discussing that very point. While not completely linear, there's definitely a somewhat linear path for the IDs, although it's distorted by who was in college when Facebook was college-only. Feel free to join in below with ideas of how to better parse the Facebook IDs.

What no ICQ early adopter cred? In all seriousness, I'm surprised at some of the people that are ahead of me on my list. I have a friend that is in the 5 digit range for Twitter IDs.....

I actually wanted to include ICQ! I had an early ID there, although can't find it anymore. Stopped signing in, was just full of SPAM...

My ICQ account was hijacked years ago by a Russian. Whoever you are, 996541, I'm going to find you.

Could you set it up so we can input our own Facebook ID instead of having to grant your app access?

I personally have the entire app platform disabled on my account, and do not intend to turn it back on.
