So this morning Robin and I were sitting in Panera, joking around having a cup of joe. It’s a beautiful Sunday, the next thing we know we start rolling off metaphors. Joking around making famous lines, sort of twitterfied. Hmm twitterfy is that a new phrase? We replaced word(s) in some famous lines from movies, songs, speeches or pop-culture sayings. Creating these metaphors was pretty fun. You should try it.
By no means is this a comprehensive list. Just something we had a lot of fun with this morning. Have something to add? We would love to hear your famous twitterfied lines. In 140 characters or less of course.

I doubted the usefulness until I started looking at what was making the service so successful. My first thoughts were that it’s just a fad. No, its not really a ‘”fad”, it’s actually useful. It enriches peoples lives. I feel that tweets are here to stay for some time.

Twitter will eventual monetize their service in several areas, most likely through its API, and partnerships with cell carriers. Their service and API was a bit shaky at first. The typical growing pains of a start up. Now it seems more robust and stable. I have not seen an error while updating in weeks. So what have I learned from the micro-blogging universe that is twitter? Read on…
