A man in the cold, Michigan winter, delivering newspapers. Another, sitting at his desk job with nothing to do. Several more men, editing a podcast, building a display, probably... eating a giant sandwich of some kind.
All of these men have been brought together, by the power of Twitter, to... play a guess what I'm thinking game. What would they have done without Twitter? Probably something productive, but it would have been far less amusing for them. And, in the end, isn't our entertainment the most important thing?
This is Bitmobbers on Twitter, a mere sampling of what me and my fellow Bitmobbers do when on Twitter. Past samplings have included Day 1 Scribblenauts discovery and joking, as well as a collection of video game titles that are only 1 letter away from not being ridiculous. Sad that you are missing out on these discussions? Well, that's kind of the point. So sign up already!
