This Twaggie was illustrated by Jeff Maksuta from a Tweet by @0ddfellow. How long has it been since you’ve used a phone book for anything other than boosting a seat? You can’t go by my experience, since I only talk to family members and people on the internet. Link
Cartoonist Kevin Coffee illustrated a Tweet from @Boymeeetsworld to produce this Twaggie for the modern world. Link

This Twaggie is based on a Tweet by @thesulk. If true, it would go a long way toward explaining why Rachmaninov’s music is so difficult for us mere mortals to play. Link
Previously at Neatorama: Another possible explanation.
This Twaggie, inspired by a Tweet from @vonbunnie, made me giggle and then feel old. Do you realize Bob Marley died thirty years ago? Link
Yes, we know that “lol” usually means something is supposed to be funny, and we assume that you are not, in fact, laughing out loud. Nothing new. Still, I found the concept chosen for illustrating this Twaggie to be nonsensically humorous. Link
Here’s a thought that really hits home. A Tweet from @lunchyprices was turned into a Twaggie by illustrator Jeff Naslund. Scrolling down these things makes me feel older by the millimeter. Link
This Tweet from @shawngold was turned into a Twaggie by political cartoonist Mike Luckovich. Multitasking skills are often self-overestimated. Link
A Tweet from @TheRealLadyLuck was illustrated by Jeff Naslund and became a Twaggie. And I thought I was the only one who did this! Link

We only keep a landline so I can call my cell when I lose it in the house. – @bulls_horns
This Tweet hit the nail on the head, so it had to be turned into a Twaggie, illustrated by artist Jeff Naslund. See more of his work at Twaggies. Link
A Tweet from @ProdigalSam gives us this adorable Twaggie drawn by David Barneda. Like all Twaggies, you can buy it on a t-shirt if you like. Link
This Twaggie was illustrated by artist Kaz Foxsen from a Tweet by @beingtheo. It might make you feel old, especially if you understand what it means to eat corn on the cob “typewriter style”. Link
This Twaggie was a Tweet illustrated by artist Zach Rodis.
If I ever commit a murder and need to somewhere to hide the body, I
have the perfect place in mind…MySpace. – @JordyHamrick
I get it, no one would ever look there. Hmm, isn’t it the nature of social networking for one social site to poke fun at another? Link

I wonder what this Twaggie (based on a Tweet by @DanaJGould) is insinuating. I am older than I’ve ever been and I also own more cats than I ever have before. Illustration by Sam Spratt. Link

This Twaggie illustrated by Gary Krejca was inspired by a Tweet from @BeerBatterBeard:
I’m the absolute best at making up excuses for not exercising. I deserve atrophy.
It may be the lowest form of humor, but we all like a good pun anyway! This Twaggie was illustrated by Donovan Santiago from a Tweet by @thesulk. You can buy a print or a t-shirt with this design. Link
A Tweet by @MikeLeffingwell reveals a sad family secret we were all just vaguely aware of. After all, if it were only a matter of softness or firmness, they could get one of those dual adjustable beds! The illustration at Twaggies is by artist Donovan Santiago. Link
A Tweet from Jason Sweeney cried out to be made into a Twaggie.
Give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he’ll eat for life. Give an octopus nunchucks, no one’s ever eating fish again.
Illustration by guest artist Donovan Santiago. Like all Twaggies, this can be made into a t-shirt. Link

Connecticut artist Ted Mikulski has a project in which he takes Tweets from various people and posts them in appropriate real-world settings. The result is often a clash between the idealism of our plans and the reality of the places they might take place. Link -Thanks, Liz!

Today is the fifth anniversary of the first non-automated Tweet ever sent over the new Twitter social networking site. On March 21st, 2006, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey sent this Tweet:
inviting co-workers
Exciting, huh? Dorsey had been working on what would become Twitter for five years by then -it was first called Twttr.
As the story goes, Dorsey elaborated on his idea during a casual Mexican lunch at that San Francisco hotbed of startup DNA, South Park.
Coding began March 13, and eight days later a machine-generated tweet was issued from Dorsey’s account (No. 12):
just setting up my twttr
While this is widely considered the world’s first tweet, Dorsey is adamant that “inviting co-workers” (his Odeo colleagues) was the first, and so is Twitter.
Acronyms and abbreviations in textspeak are getting more convoluted every day. Twitter member @TeenDreaming took it to the level of the ridiculous with a Tweet that was turned into this Twaggie. Link
This Twaggie, illustrating a Tweet from Seth MacFarlane, tells the truth about farm life and the way it appears to non-farmers. Link
I’ll bet you never thought about wrapping your tweets around your finger. You can make your most meaningful tweets last by having your favourite 140 characters (or less) engraved on a stainless steel, silver or titanium ring.

Allie Brosch, the mastermind behind Hyperbole and a Half, sends out entertaining but infrequent Tweets. This one was illustrated as a Twaggie, which (like all Twaggies) can be made into a t-shirt if you like. Link
The connotation of the word “brunch” probably has more to do with who uses it than the timing of your meal. If you have “breakfast” at 10AM, no one would think anything of it, but if someone says they had “brunch”, you will now think of the above picture. Does the possibility of landing a spot on Twaggies encourage people to be more creative in their Tweets? Who knows, I’m just glad someone is finding the funny ones for us! Link

Twaggies, a website by Kiersten Essenpreis (@K_Essenpreis) and our very own David Israel (@resila), take random weird tweets and turn them into even weirder visuals. This one above, by comedian Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack), is pretty much spot on.

What happens when you mix the fleeting stream of tweets and something a bit more long-lasting? Oh say, something carved in stone? Autobahn and Richard Wendling teamed for this rockin’ art project called #StoneCarvedTweets.
