How Tweet It Is
(May 7, 2009) burstiner Poor Tweety Bird. A friend came down to breakfast wearing a Tweety Bird T-Shirt. It said Tweet! I thought it was her attempt at hipness. (5:00 AM May 4th from mobile web)
burstiner Silly me. T-shirts are old tech. It was retro. It didn’t refer to Twitter, the Web site that turns text messages into deep thoughts. (5:05 AM May 4th from mobile web)
burstiner These days, everyone who is anyone Twitters. Obama Twitters. Oprah Twitters. Even Owen Wilson Twitters. (5:45 AM May 4th from mobile web)
burstiner To Twitter, you write in short bursts. No more than 140 characters including spaces. You do it on Twitter.com or on your cell phone. 5:55 AM May 4th from mobile web
burstiner The bursts of brilliance are called Tweets. People can follow your Tweets on Twitter or on their cell phone. (6:00 AM May 4th from mobile web)
burstiner I opened a Twitter account a while ago but never Tweeted. My friend with the Tweet As Can Be shirt decided to follow me. (6:05 AM May 4th from mobile web)
burstiner With an actual follower I now felt obliged to Tweet. I asked her to de-follow me. (6:10 AM May 4th from mobile web)
burstiner Humboldt isn’t the hippest place. Here many people are still on dial-up modems. But Those-Who-Would-Be-Hip here Twitter. (6:12 AM May 4th from mobile web)
