May 30 Days Writing Challenge - Day Twenty: Who Was The First User You Followed On Steemit? Why?

Welcome to the twentieth day of the May 30 days writing challenge. If you don't know what this challenge is about, please have a look at the introductory post. Also, at the end of each article I will post the links to all the posts in the challenge (if you're joining the challenge, I encourage you to do the same). Also, if you join, don't forget to tag your post with #challenge30days and also leave a comment with the link of your post, so I can evaluate if you're one of the 3 lucky Steemians that will get a full upvote from me.

Who Was The First User You Followed On Steemit? Why?

I'm sure many of you don't remember this, but I think it's a nice exercise anyway. I'm also not sure that I'm remembering it correctly, but I'll do my best (although you can use a blockchain explorer to find the first "follow" operation of an account, I'm too lazy to do it - it's a very lazy Sunday in my part of the Universe, and I kinda surrendered to it).

So, I guess the first user I followed on the Steemit blockchain was either @wadepaterson or @ned. Wade, because he was the one who invited me here, by interviewing me on his "20 questions" series, and @ned because, well, he upvoted that interview and Wade told me he was "one of the big shots there".

So, who was the first person you followed on Steemit? Why? Leave a link to your post in the comments so I can check it out.

Wanna know when you're getting paid?

I know the feeling. That's why I created steem.supply, an easy to use and accurate tool for calculating your Steemit rewards

It's free to use, but if you think this is a useful addition, I'd appreciate your witness vote.

Thank you!
