2009 was the year the media freaked out about Twitter. The inner/outer community of itwaslost writers & artists, & many choice comrades, also occasionally wandered around the tweetosphere. In Twenty-ten, we recommend you follow @itwaslost, @ssandrigon, & the rest of us, subscribe via sms on your motherloving superphones, follow our community lists (@itwaslost/community), & ride this fad hard till it passes a kidney stone.
Here's some excerpts from 2009 for those of you too cool for twittering:

Ever heard of Lady Mondegreen? the martyred eponymous patron saint of mishearing song lyrics? some examples to follow...
ssandrigonEver heard of Lady Mondegreen? the martyred eponymous patron saint of mishearing song lyrics? some examples to follow...
ssandrigonLady Mondegreen's sacrifice for the cause itself came from the scottish lyric: "They hae slain the Earl of Moray / & laid him on the green."
ssandrigonLady Mondegreen's creepy stalker friend: "Surely Good Mrs. Murphy shall follow me all the days of my life", as misheard from Psalm 23.
ssandrigonI just had a money-making genius breakthru - sell 2 buck chuck to high schoolers for $5. That's 150% profit & everyone wins.
ssandrigonSay you had $40k. You could: 1) go to a liberal arts college for a year; or 2) rent a large plastic event tent for one day. Your choice.
ssandrigonOf course you have to rip off a lot of high-schoolers to make $40k - about 13333.3 by my math. Is that how Qadaffi affords his big tent?
The sagas of Samamamidon, when we usurped Sam Amidon's personality on Twitter, were replaced by Herner Werzog, or Young Werner Herzog, who for obvious reasons kept the same profile picture as samamamidon. (A lot of the tweets from that samamamidon era were posted around here.) These are funnier if you say them in my phony Werner Herzog impersonation.
hernerwerzogWe will now be tweetering & filmmaking as @hernerwerzog, the real Werner Herzog. Please make the appropriate adjustments. #wernerherzog
hernerwerzogI had also plotted a movie about Julia Child's days in Paris. But in my version, Christian Bale plays Julia Child, & it was filmed in Burma. from web
hernerwerzogWhat was that? I believe I've been shot. Actually, twitter is not very friendly towards film-making. I will keep tweeting tho.
hernerwerzogI'm a problem that'll never ever be solved. And no matter what, you'll never take that from me. My reign is as far as your eyes can see.
hernerwerzogI was just over at Christian Bale's house, on his scenic piazza. I suspect he is plotting to kill me, so I only drank from my own flask.
hernerwerzogI got to know Teddy Kennedy while filming for my documentary "Huge Potomac Delta", where he kindly offered me a Portuguese Waterhound.
hernerwerzogI thought it was some sort of stew, so I politely declined. I could have been the owner of Obama's dog, but now all I own is ashes & memory.
hernerwerzogMeryl Streep, Schmeryl Schmeep -- Charlize Theron & Leo DiCaprio are the greatest American Actresses. ( RT @itwaslost: http://bit.ly/AEpyn )
hernerwerzogI am proud to announce the opening of my new Young Werner Herzog discount Rogue film school- ½ price off the other one, & foxier instructors
hernerwerzogIt's dirt cheap & fly-by-night & will be conducted entirely via twitter RT @yaaraDromi where do I sign up? [Young Werner Herzog film school]
hernerwerzogCongrats: all the first students signed-up for my discount Young Werner Herzog tweetospheric rogue filmmaking school appear to be pornbots.
hernerwerzogI call upon the theoreticians of cinema to go after this one. Go for it, losers. Don't stop fucking that chicken.
ssandrigonI'm at a concert of Luigi Russolo's noise machine boxes, recreated, celebrating "the 100th anniversary of the launch of futurism."
ssandrigonMay futurism reign for another 100 years!!
Okay, there's a lot, so this may have to be a several-part series celebrating the twots of 2009. More anon!
PS, Also there's this list - @hernerwerzog/wernerherzogs - following the many Werner Herzogs of Twitter.
