Let's promote the video - please see if the following is ok with you guys. I think we cannot really do the blogpost since they're different (albeit very similar) topics of the birthday of the wiki and the blog post which is the birthday of Ward in May. 

t: [VIDEO] "Every idea is a seed and it just grows, grows & grows," - @wardcunningham on the invention of the wiki.

f/g: [VIDEO] Ward Cunningham, inventor of the wiki which turns 20 years old today, named his invention the 'WikiWikiWeb' after he took a ride on an airport shuttle in Honolulu called Wiki-Wiki.

Love it -- the quote one is great! Small edits below LGTM!

Today is the 20th anniversary of the first wiki - I propose to RT this
from @wikipedia and @wikimedia:
https://twitter.com/JackH/status/580766141447958529 (already RTed by
@WardCunningham himself).

Or perhaps someone has a bit of time to write custom Twitter and FB/G+
messages linking to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiWikiWeb ?
