My favorite Twitter posts Jul26 '07
I've discussed Twitter quite a bit recently, as it's become the outspoken center of my digital lifestyle - a hub for snappy, abbreviated, inquisitive content by myself and others.
Over the last few months, I've used the "favorites" feature to save favorite Twitter updates from others. I've accumulated around 50 individual favorites, as of today.
One way to get more of my close friends and family involved with Twitter is to allow them to see the real Twitter - the updates that really make you think or appreciate something so much more.
The value of Twitter is it's terseness. It's about explaining a lot with very few words. This beautiful contradiction (achieving a lot with only a little) has led to some interesting and thought-provoking posts by millions of users.
The best posts are those that convey a sense of wit, profoundness, irony, or just plain silliness.
Here is a brief collection of some of my favorite recent Twitter posts:
Observed while out and about: two women dressed in salad bikinis and a taxi dressed up as a shark. No obvious relationship between the two.
That cookie didn't stand a chance.
thinks it's time to leave when the homeless guy on the other side of the glass starts throwing D cell batteries and Tylenol into traffic.
Showing you my Web 2.0, oh, oh face. Oh.
Dreamed I was 1/2 size, riding a tiny motorcycle in endless ovals in my back yard while my biological father chased me. Paging Dr. Freud...
My neighbor just screamed bloody murder and ran out of her apartment, jumped in her car, and speed off. What the hell is going on?
Wow, that burp was decidedly unladylike. Excuse me.
Not sure if I can even textually describe the current tiredness factor. Not even sure if that statement makes sense.
Twitters don't get Pownce. Bloggers don't get Twitter. Business executives don't get blogs. Consumers don't get why business is clueless.
Try to makes sense of it all before trying to make cents from it all
Only explanation I can think of for that smell is that the clerk at the liquor store shit herself.
Never be afraid to try something new. Remember: Amateurs...built the ark. Professionals...built the Titanic
taco bell gave me the complete wrong order but since everything at taco hell tastes the same, I'm cool with it.
Catch all of my Twitter favorites any time.
