> Actually, Facebook was first.

I followed my friends' photos on Flickr when Facebook was still a php website for Harvard grads...

This strengthens your point however; first is overrated.

I used Altavista when the most famous "Larry" amongst geeks was still called "Leisure Suit Larry".

Nope, that would be Larry Wall.

Not Larry Roberts?

Agreed. Like it is said in Immutable laws of Marketing book:

If you can't be first with an idea, be the first in a category. If not create the category and be the first in it.
