A typical Twitter exchange
Here are snippets of an ongoing conversation thread that happened on Twitter today; it involves five different people. These updates were interspersed with other "tweets" from me and the 62 people I follow, so the meandering, cloudy nature of Twitter is masked by my selective edits. (A name preceded by an @ symbol indicates that the person sending the message is directing it to that individual.)
First, a discussion of the merits of Mexican Coke (which I love):
bobmissy07: The absolute best words to see on a Coke bottle - Hecho en Mexico!
RussM: @bobmissy07 Where did you find Mexican Coke in Knoxville?
bobmissy07: @russm Kroger on Chapman Hwy... and any of the little mexican markets on Chapman have it too. So much better than ours!
bobmissy07: @russm I would gladly pay more in order to get the cane sugar recipe instead of that gawdawful Highfructosecornsyrup version they give us.
RussM: @bobmissy07 I fully agree.
Then, Barry chimed in:
lasthome: @RussM @bobmissy Soda snobs :) Although I am intrigued to try it...
RussM: @lasthome It tastes like Coke did when I was a kid. Very different from today's.
bobmissy07: @lasthome next summer we're going to Mexico for vacation... I'm not excited abt Tequila. I'm really pumped abt. the Coke though. Sad.
A couple of hours later, a scene from "Back To The Future" played out:
RussM: Good Lord! I just saw a DeLorean! No flux capacitor, though.
suzytrotta: @RussM I saw one yesterday on Gleason - wonder if it was the same one?
RussM: @suzytrotta Probably. This one was on Northshore near Bluegrass.
A couple of hours after that:
dougmccaughan: @RussM All Krogers have it.
bobmissy07: @dougmccaughan Mexican Coke or Deloreans?
I love Twitter.
