The World According to Twitter: Crowd-sourced Wit and Wisdom from David Pogue (and His 350,000 Followers) - David Pogue
On a major road on the Gold Coast I once rented a second storey apartment and brushing over the many faults of that cheap apartment, it had one quality feature, a balcony that provided a viewing platform over the major road and it’s footpaths to the tenants, so they could people watch and observe the interesting residents of Labrador.
People watching is a favourite past time of many a freak, including like this blogger. We humans are always interested in how other people are digesting the same information we are or what they think about a certain topic or are their brains as twisted sas ours.
The 500,000 (1,300,000 at the time of posting) followers of David Pogue, writer for the New York Times, have opinions, ideas and some crazy thoughts inside their brains and David has harvested those crazy thoughts and published the fruit of the crop in a very funny and intriguing book called “The World According To Twitter”.
Here’s a few examples of David’s question and answer harvest of his Twitter followers:
- What’s the best prank you’ve ever witnessed? Our boss left for 10 weeks. We made her office up to look like someone had been living in it, complete with empty pizza boxes & clothes.
- Heard any good puns lately? Zen master goes up to the hot dog vendor and says, “Make me one with everything.”
- Redefine an existing word in a punny way. Propaganda: To hold a goose up.
- What’s the best toast you’ve heard? I’d rather be here with you people than with the finest people on earth.
- Make up a concept for a new TV show that’s probably doomed. Survivor, Final Season: Cannibal Edition
As you can see the book is full of some great gags and insights. David Pogue is an excellent question asker (sic. interviewer) and his Twitter followers are plain comedians.
