They're Not Keats, They're Just Tweets

Noteworthy mini-missives fill our Twitterverse.

There's something really fascinating about Twitter. It forces people to distill their thoughts into short bursts rather than long-winded speeches. It also seems to provoke moments of wit and insight that, but for Twitter, may never have emerged. From our locals Twitterverse, here are five things you need to know today:

  1. You Need to Know That @danielsroka is Poetic. He tweeted, "Oh Twitter app, why do you make your type so small? Not all of us are eagle-eyed 20 year olds anymore."
  2. You Need to Know That @KidDictionary is Amusing: He tweeted the following definition, "Threemageddon, (n) Hellfire that allegedly erupts if angry, counting mom gets to 3."
  3. You Need to Know That @darkcrayon Looks Beyond the Facade: He tweeted, "I appreciate that the hardest lookin' dude on this bus has Fur Elise as his ringtone..."
  4. You Need to Know That @AirTreatment is Contagiously Optimistic:  He tweeted, "2011 is my year! I’m stepping into a new season. I’m letting go of what didn’t work out. I’m putting on a new attitude & enlarging my vision."
  5. You Need to Know That Even American Idol Contestants Get in Trouble With Their Dads. Local singer Tiffany Rios, who tweets as @tiffanyrios12, got a little carried away after the Jets lost to the Steelers. She tweeted, "My dad has little helmets of all the teams and i wanted to play around and threw the steeler helmet. And Broke It. Ahhh i feel so bad."
