A few have commented on twitter, what a fantastic handle, or why @einsteinagogo ?
so I’ll lift the lid on the secret…very few know the actual reference is to an eighties song (1981) by Landscape – “Einstein A Go Go” – “You Better Watch Out You Better Beware Albert said that E=mc2” – “Einstein A Go Go“! Landscape had hits with “Einstein A Go Go” and “Norman Bates” in the UK Pop Charts in the 80s.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Albert Einstein, and I thought @einstein (although my citizen band radio handle late 70s/early 80s) was to egocentric for twitter, although I do have a rather large head!
so @einsteinagogo it was, I think the first reference (einstein-a-go-go) of using it was on the VMware Community Forums in 2005!
Mike Laverick of VMware fame (from Nottingham, UK) spotted it quickly on the VMware Community Forums, and wrote “fan of Landscape” from an early posting in 2005.
