Twitter (follow me) has a function that allows you to save your favourite tweets (much alike a bookmark) so I thought it would be a great idea to see what other Twitter users favourites were. Enjoy!

SO lame. Been sleeping the majority of the past 3 days. Only reason I motivated to get up was ’cause I thought my KFC coupon expired today!

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.

What is your most favourite saved Tweet?
Nice selection jacob.
What a great post. I’m obsessed with quality tweets at the moment.
http://favrd.textism.com is a pretty good resource for finding tweets that lots of people have favourited, but it only tracks people who have registered, so you tend to get the same names popping up all the time.
I’m writing a 50-movement Tweet Suite at the moment (50 Twitter messages set to music in 90 days: http://5090.fawm.org/fawmers/ihatemornings ), so I’ve been scouring Twitter for good lyrics. I’ll definitely use some of these. 😉
Ben,
It’s interesting to see what people save isn’t it. Thanks for the link to Favrd, an interesting site indeed.
Look forward to your tweets in song format…please do leave a link here when they are all up! Good luck!
Vilson,
Thank you for the tip, I’ve fixed it up!
And a quick tip from a Portuguese Designer
“Nós inventamos a luz, para negar a escuridão” translates to “We invent the light to deny the darkness” (notice, “invent”)
For it to be “We invented the light to deny the darkness”, in portuguese, it would have to be “Nós inventámos a luz, para negar a escuridão” (notice “inventámos”, with an acute accent on the “a”, the meaning changes)
“We invented the light to hide the darkness.â€
A short tip from a brazilian designer:
the right translation will be:
“We invented the light to deny the darkness.â€
I love the @Davidairey about Jessica Simpson and the Hamburger and the one of @faryl about KFC because sometime I am like her, I don’t do anything all day but I can get ready in 2 min to go walking 15 min for a KFC.
I love the @vonster as well.
Excellent article Jacob really creative way to spend your twitter time.
Lovely selection! I totally ROFL’d at most of them. cheers!
Some garden gnomes cant be trusted.
Thank you Mesed, fixed the “invent” up.
Nice one Sulsin!
