Twitter can be such a powerful marketing tool, it got me wondering. Could some of the most profound events in human history be winnowed down so as to be tweetable? Sure!
If Moses had to tweet the ten commandments: God says "Stop that!"
If the colonists had sent the Declaration of Independence as a tweet: "This relationships isn't working. You'll find your tea in the harbor."
If the Magna Charta had been sent as a tweet: "Who died and made you king? Oh right, your Dad. But still. That doesn't give you the right to treat us badly."
If Abraham Lincoln's assassination had been tweeted: "Lincoln killed in Ford"
If the Hindenberg tragedy had been tweeted: "Sell Zepplin stock...now!"
A passenger tweet from the Titanic: "The icebergs are so close I could almost reach out and touch them!"
Hitler's Mein Kampf as a tweet: "Aryans rule, sub-species drool."
A tweet from the final day of the Jurassic period; "Look, a shooting star. Make a wish!"
A tweet from the Roswell crash site, "They tried to probe me, that's when all hell broke loose."
Lindberg tweet after landing in Paris: " I made it! I flew the Atlantic. Now I'm just waiting for my luggage."
After the Lindberg baby kidnapping: " He was just here a minute ago!"
Madame Curie after taking first X-ray: "New photo technique makes me look as thin as a skeleton!"
Buzz Aldrin after setting foot on the moon: "I'm number two! I'm number two!"
Isaac Newton just before discovering gravity: "Ow, an apple just hit me on the head....hey...."
Tweet immediately after the final spike of the TransContinental Railroad was driven: "Experienced rail layer looking for work."
Orville Wright: I can see our house from here!
To the followers of the Knight's Templar site: "Anyone seen the Holy Grail? Seems someone --who shall remain nameless -- has misplaced it!"
Socrates after drinking the hemlock: "The pois jxw apjem lqwe zgrrrrrrrrrr....."
You could say a few of these are an example of anti-social media. Hope you enjoyed them. Have a great weekend








Hilarious Greg! You have just put a whole new spin on history. I'm loving it!
