You sit down to your keyboard with the ever so brilliant piece of knowledge you’d like to bestow upon the world. Since the internet has no greater place to empty knowledge into, you decide Twitter is the perfect medium. Within seconds, you’ve typed out your 144 character quote. You hit enter and wait for the web to gasp at your genius. But what now? It never appears on your feed! You think perhaps it’s just your Twitter client acting up, so you head over to the Twitter website. To your dismay, it hasn’t found it’s way there either. By this point, you’ve forgotten your world changing tweet, and now no one will ever see it. So where did it go? The Twitter void of course! A void that contains clips of the next Shakespeare as well as the cure for cancer. So with that knowledge, what’s the best Tweet you’ve had lost in the Twitter void?
P.S. I am qualified to write in the second person. It’s a legacy carried by the McInerney name…
I, too, had this happen multiple times today. Luckily all from my phone so I was able to re-send. Argh @ twitter.

I love the second person, btw. You’re not related are you?
