twitter

If you are like me, you have been wondering what the good is of Twitter. Today I have discovered two amazing uses that have convinced me that Twitter is exactly what the world needs!

First – You have been worrying about that zombie attack, right? Well, if you live in Boston have no fear if you have Twitter. The Boston Police Department has promised that in the event of a zombie attack, they will get on Twitter and let you know!!! So have no fear about a surprise zombie attack you Boston residents.

Second – Have no time to read those classics because you are spending your time with other, more important activities (like being on Twitter)? Not to worry. Now you can read an entire novel reduced to only 140 characters! Here’s a few examples:

Pride and Prejudice
janeaustin: Woman meets man called Darcy who seems horrible. He turns out to be nice really. They get together.

Ulysses
jamesjoyce: Man walks around Dublin. We follow every minute detail of his day. He’s probably overtweeting.

Great Expectations
charlesdickens: Orphan given £££ by secret follower. He thinks it’s @misshavisham but it turns out to be @magwitch

Now what could be better than that?
