My Top 10 Tweets 2009
I thought it would be interesting to see the tweets that I have favourited in 2009 and pick a top 10 list to make up the numbers in my under used top 10 category.
They are mostly just random, humorous observations by friends and acquaintances, only some of whom I have actually met, with a few from the odd famous person and one of my own as twitter is after all, all about the royal me.
I think the examples demonstrate what I like most about twitter, that it is – to paraphrase John Maeda (a favourite tweeter but not featured herein) – a tool for creating an RSS feed of the collective subconscious. Having said that, none of these tweets are quite as funny or as inspiring as when I first read them but then again, I guess I had to be there.
Here’s the list in reverse chronological order:

sunday is a day of rest, but it can also be punctuated with DIY tasks if required.

Flying by Ryanair is like being pick-pocketed and punched in the face every 5 minutes and paying for the privilege.
