I do find myself wondering what those guys in Philadelphia in 1776 might have done if they had Twitter back then:
American Revolution in the Twitterverse:
GeoWash: live free or die
JAdms: LOL get off ur hi horse
TJeff: when in the course of human events it becomes necessary….
BenFra: 140 characters only, Jefferson!
GeoWash: Tory Tory Tory
JAdms: study politics and war for sons liberty
Abigail: remember the ladies!
TJeff: BTW all men created equal… ladies?
SamAdams: brewski?
BenFra: a nice French bourdeaux?
JHancock: where do I sign up?
TJeff: life, liberty, happiness, etc…
GeorgeIII: my heavens, let them have their freedom, they cannot write in English!
Thank goodness for quill pens and pony express!
