Little Known Fact About Twitter

20130622-232405.jpg

For almost two years, I have been trying to see all of my Tweets, yes, from the first post. Twitter allows you to scroll down just so far. Facebook does the same thing. For some reason, social media sites don’t like you to live in the past.

I was still determined to check out my history. I wanted to see who I said what about. Lo and behold, after searching for my Twitter archives, I found a full explanation in Settings.

The Today Show Despondent Over GMA Twitter Score

20130418-212648.jpg

The Today Show has had some major blows lately because of its huge drop in viewership, but nothing could have prepared them for the hit they took this morning. Just hours ago, Twitter, with its over 250 million active users, decided to announce its entry into the music business on ABC’s Good Morning America rather than the former morning news kingpin. My sources told me that you could hear a pin drop on the set of the Today Show as rival GMA got all cozy with one of the most sensational social media platforms.

Cher, Margaret Thatcher

Rumors that Cher died on April 8th were a Twitter blunder. Margaret Thatcher died last Monday. However, when some Twitter users used the hashtag #nowthatchersdead (now Thatcher’s dead) to let others know about the British Prime Minister’s death, it was misread by loyal Cher fans (now that Cher’s dead) who freaked. Hundreds of thousands went into instant mourning.

For those of you who do not use Twitter, let me remind you that the hashtag # is used on Tweets so that everyone talking about the same topic can search for comments on the subject. This is usually a very civilized format.

RIP Margaret Thatcher

Long Live Cher
