So where's that big Friday news explosion hinted at by the twitterverse last night?

6. Wait for one twit to twitter a different twit who twitters other twitterers

All God's Twitterers twit tweeters.

7. And then describe all the twits as "sources"

[Stinky The Clown]

8. Yup

9. The world didn't come to an end the last time that was predicted either.

Or any of the other times, for that matter.

Twits Tweet. If people listen, they'll continue to be Tweeting Twits.

Don't be a Twit. Don't Tweet. Dont' retweet, and don't post Tweets like those. That's my advice.

10. The Twitterverse Is Really a Black Hole.

11. I can't believe anyone keeps posting all the random twitter alerts. Most of them BS! n/t

15. Shhh! Can't you hear it?

It's like a mighty wind!

[onenote]

16. It saw its shadow and now we have to wait another six weeks.

[madinmaryland]

17. It will be happening in 24 business hours...

[Dr Hobbitstein]

18. Random people on Twitter were wrong?

I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you. Just like I was shocked the other bajillion times they were wrong.

Eventually, people may realize that Twitter is NOT a legit source of news.

19. I had to UNDO my Recs from last night

[Tipperary]

20. Haha! I have to admit I have not been surprised. Those posters all seem quiet now.

Last night it was all Fitzmas Eve! Such disappointment.

21. EarlG on another thread:

I think it works something like this

Twitter personality A: "I'm hearing something big is coming! Are you hearing this, guys?"

Twitter personality B (who hasn't heard anything but wants to sound informed): "Oh yes, I'm also hearing that same thing!"

Twitter personality C (who doesn't want to be left out): "I too am hearing that something big is coming!"

Twitter personality D (who is using Twitter personality A as a source): "My sources are telling me that something big is coming!"

Twitter personality E: "My feed is lighting up with rumors that something big is coming!"

Everyone else: "Have you seen Twitter? Lots of chatter about something big coming!"

And then if something big happens within 24-48 hours everyone can pat each other on the back, and if it doesn't, nobody will remember.
