some types of tweets

in celebration of new thing about Twitter and the Universe now up at New World Writing, here are some types of tweets: 

observationally neutral tweet depicting "absurd/hilarious" situation

self-promo tweet

self-promo tweet via seeming to promo some other thing causing self-promo-ing to seem worse

self-deprecating tweet about current "situation/emotional state," meant to be funny, but often sad

how drunk someone was tweet

drug "experience" tweet

serious "political" tweet linking to article about race/gender/class

the sharing recipe tweet

creative/imagistic tweet about utopian/dystopian future caused by "technology"

tweet wishing tweeter could say something "insane" in a "normal" situation

the quoting a famous person tweet

regretting food choice tweet

the tweet created out of boredom that seems determined to be as strange as possible

philosophical tweet about "existence" meant to be some end understanding of some aspect of life

"unexpected/cute/hilarious" thing tweeter's toddler recently said/did tweet

the cryptically angry tweet in which tweeter vaguely accuses a group of people and labels them "unkind/ungenerous/etc"

the haiku tweet

the live-tweet as unintentional code for needing social interaction tweet

the "i-predicted-right" tweet concerning sports

the making fun of athlete tweet by pointing out some repetitive behavior: "does Kobe always have to/does Nadal really need to"

the string of tweets that appear really quickly and are well composed that show the tweeter was really revising all these tweets for a while
