Tweeting from the Big Apple

I recently read an article that blogs are already obsolete – the future belongs to twitter.  You see, blogs are just too wordy.  Today’s audiences want their information in even shorter bits than blogs provide.  I guess asking people to read more than 144 characters is a little much.  So, to make things a little easier on you, I’ll report my recent New York trip as if I had been tweeting it while there.

05/08/09: We’re here: NY!  It’s kind of dumpy.  Traffic not so bad.  Is there anything in Times Square besides gift shops?

05/09/09: Central Park is huge!  Can almost forget we’re in the largest city in the US.  Rowboating a nice diversion.  My feet hurt.

 05/10/09: Avoided Statue of Liberty lines.  Her face looks like a man.   Theresa’s the latest immigrant to visit Ellis Island.  NY pizza = yummy.

05/11/09: Natural History museum: good.  The Met: better.  Broady play for $20!  Lesser-known play, but very witty.  Mathew Broderick stars.

05/12/09: Tour NBC Studios – SNL set amazingly small.  Shopping on 5th  St – Theresa loves it!  Colbert Report!  Thanks Holly for the tix!

So there you have it.  I hope it wasn’t too much, since there was five whole tweets in a row.  Here are a couple of pictures.  If you want to see the whole set, click here.

  1. I must be old school, I still like reading the longer versions, however I do like your summing up by tweets.
