The Weird And Wonderful First Tweets Of Ja...
John Herrman
2. There was reporting:
3. There was snark:
why do so many infamous plagiarists flock to one particular media organization that is not my own?
4. There was… this:
ringtone selected: "Business Time" from Flight of The Conchords.
5. There were celebrities:
@jimmyfallon dude, critics vilifed conan in his first yr. ignore. do your thing and continue to show that u enjoy it. people r rooting 4 u
6. Deep thoughts:
What IS it w/Elmo? in 15 years an evil scientist will hit a switch & everyone born after 1990 will join an Elmo Army and kill the rest of us
7. And trenchant movie critiques:
i still think about the film "Se7en" on occasion, 14 yrs after its release...tho i must confess i found wrath and envy contrived.
congrats to @aplusk on reaching 1 million twitter followers. "Butterfly Effect" is vastly underrated. cheers
9. He wasn’t afraid to go meta:
media people are going to chase me off twitter by talking about themselves and twitter. oh wait, im doing the same thing.
10. To speak directly to the American People:
Matt Giraud also rocks it out. i do not get Adamn Lambert's appeal to the judges; I'd rather watch Orszag do his taxes.
11. Or to reveal his deepest secrets:
my mom framed an old foto of me as a baby,her+dad. I once thot I was a cute baby butnowthat I have a cute baby I see I looked like a monkey
12. He didn’t shy away from hard truths:
God love her, but my mother-in-law's coffee tastes like petroleum.
13. And wasn’t afraid to tell you what’s good for you:
U spend a 1/4 to 1/3 of your life in bed. Buy a good mattress, for the love of Pete.
14. He hated Adam Lambert:
Somewhere Johnny Cash just vomited in his grave. What IS it with this Idol contestant and why do the judges love him so?
15. And loved the written word:
first sentence of my new novel: Our love spoiled like a jug of milk left in the sun --curdled and funky but perversely delicious.
Morning haiku: Assets are toxic/but will not be forever/except some of them?
17. He called for civility:
enough bile out there that i dont need it here on twitter.dialogue, yes. insults no. blog comment board and bathroom walls still avail 4 all
18. And racial harmony:
I suppose as far as ethnic stereotypes go, we shd be happy Nintendo didn't make Super Mario Bros. part of an organized crime family- grazie
19. He knew how to speak the language of the NET:
"i'm biased towards nurses, i just like nurses," says POTUS. somewhere my nurse mom is smiling. w00t to the nurses out there
20. And loved telling jokes:
little known fact about such summits: it is permitted to give surprise shoulder massages called "merkels"
am i rocking this briefing book over a merlot? ARE THE CENTRAL BANKS MAINTAINING EXPANSIONARY POLICIES??!
tweeps, your detective work is 'Cold Case' worthy. i AM from philly + a fan of Tastycake Butterscotch Krimpets. plus i am jet lagged.
for angry libs complaining about the iPod story: who do you think is sharing this info about the iPod? u think we broke into buckingham?
the world is full of Shirleys making fat jokes about Reruns.
25. Basically, the feed used to be RAW TAPPER, and it was great:
DUDES POTUS just called on the China TV guy!!!!
Good luck at your new job Tweeting for CNN, Jake. Just don’t forget your roots.
27. Tapper responds! To a joke about how he used to be better at Twitter:
@jwherrman ZOMG you're right (hangs head in shame)
Don’t worry, Tap. Still got it.
