Woo! Prettified tweets!
It’s great to tweet, and it’s great that people tweet. But the timeline of your and your follower’s tweets gets big fast. It’s always been my opinion that Twitter should be as real-time as possible. I loved the text-message model of the Twitter days of yore, though didn’t love constantly checking my phone. I found that what I actually crave is knowing there are tweets waiting for me to read, not necessarily reading the tweets themselves.
In the past, I’ve connected my doorbell to Twitter. This was great, but I still had to go to Twitter to see the tweets. Talk about #firstworldproblems.
In the past, I’ve also seriously modified a Smith Corona typewriter. This clearly is a match made in heaven, why didn’t I combine the two earlier? In fact, I remember seeing an article about another bunch of people doing the same. It had to be done. This would give me the best of both worlds. I can hear the typewriter doing its thing when I’m doing my thing, and when I eventually walk past it I can catch up on the haps.
