Your Early Nerd Score is a measure of how much of an early adopter you are. Low user-ids have always been a key piece of geek cred. Your score is just your percentile for each service, note that it may change over time as our data set grows.

Who made Early Nerd This is a quick hack by pkamali (@peeter on Twitter) and feldmanr (@ronfeldman on Twitter).

@handler Thanks. We hacked this together pretty quickly and were surprised that nobody had done something like this simply using User IDs. We think it's pretty fun.

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

Facebook's user id system is not linear (although it used to be so on a per-school basis)

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.....
