Sometime between the hours when yachts participating in the Volvo Ocean Race were inching their way across the last leg to St. Petersburg, and the minute when the TerreStar-1 satellite was launched from a space base in French Guiana, a great thing happened: the number of followers on Emdashes hit 1,001!

We were pleased and appreciate the support of all of our Twitter followers —even you, Twitter Follower #666.

But time and Twitter stand still for no one. We’re not going to rest on our digital laurels here at Emdashes: as such, we will be rewarding the 1500th follower with a Squib Report T-shirt, featuring the Typing Owl! Available in adult sizes, and, as proven by the very cute photo above, in child sizes as well.
