BU Tweetcreep: November 13th – November 18th

By | Nov 18th, 2011

So… something pretty swell happened this week for the ol’ Tweetcreep, kids (the goat kind of kid, not the human kind). BostInnovation posted this snazzy article about Tweetcreep and how it is pretty funny sometimes. On occassion. Depending on my caffeine levels. The best part was, they made me feel like I was doing the BU community a tremendous service. Like being on Twitter is so incredibly painful and overwhelming, and I, like a beardless Moses, am navigating you poor souls through it.

In all honesty, I wish the article talked about how damn hilarious BU Twitter accounts are and how BC Twitters are just dull in comparison. But what I REALLY want to do is forward this article to @USAToday. Call me petty, but when it comes to social media, I do not like to be double crossed! And you know how the old expression goes, “Forgiveness is for chumps.” Or something like that. I wasn’t really listening.

To me, this week wasn’t about Rainn Wilson or Sarah Silverman (or as I like to call them, Dwight and that girl from the Sarah Silverman Show), it was about how awesome and famous all of our BU Twitter accounts are. However, if I had actually been able to see either Rainn Wilson or Sarah Silverman speak and wasn’t working, I would have forgotten all about you. You know how the old expression goes, “Make new friends, and ditch the old. Because the newer ones are probably cooler than your old ones.” Or something like that.

It’s like what my grandma would tweet while baking bread… if my grandma was hip enough to watch Conan. Or appreciate hip-hop. “I don’t get it, Elizabeth. Where’d Johnny Carson go?! Who’s this redheaded fellow?”

I think by “cheeseburger” you mean “Evian water.”

Now, let’s see how they do in front of a green screen. If they can navigate that, we have ourselves a new weatherman!
