Is it just too easy typing out 140 characters to fill up your Twitter account? Then maybe you should try slowing down the process by morse coding your way across the micro blogging platform. You can find schematics for your own Tworsekey at the link.

This Twaggie was illustrated from a Tweet by @DrTwittenheimer. Wouldn’t it be nice if our lives were as simple as our house cat’s lives are? Link
You can find puns and one-liners all day on Twitter if you follow the right people. Twaggies takes those one-liners and illustrates them in comic images. This one is from @yuckybot. See more of them at Go Comics. Link
You know, when someone confides that they sometimes Google themselves, the classic answer is “You’ll go blind!” But this Twaggie, illustrated from a Tweet by @IamMsMoneypenny, strikes close to home for me today. You can see a new Twaggie every day at GoComics. Link
A simple and not-too-effective spam Twitter account has become an internet phenomenon. @Horse_ebooks may or may not be a ‘bot, but the nonsensical snippets that it Tweets, supposedly from the ebooks it is trying to sell, has caused over 25,000 people to follow the account.
I tend to liken horse_ebooks to some wacky public access show you might have watched in college. There’s no comedic motive — as with the weirdo doing a foreign events call-in show at 3:00 in the morning, there’s no irony — but it doesn’t carry that guilt of mockery: you are not, and couldn’t be, making fun of Horse_ebooks. If anything, it’s making fun of you.
Whatever the appeal — explication does more harm than good — it’s stuck with people. Someone started a genuinely good horse_ebooks fanfiction site. There’s Horse_ecomics, which posts comics inspired by the account’s Tweets, and a litany of smaller tributes: people have had ordered framed images of the account’s avatar, turned Tweets into mug inscriptions (“Swallow that garbage”), and renamed their Twitter accounts in it honor.
John Herrman at Splitsider explains what he knows about this account, and how it has taken off as a rising star on Twitter and in the larger internet universe. Link -via Boing Boing

Are you sad because no one ever responds to your Tweets? Here’s a sure-fire way to get a reply. Stealth Mountain describes his account as follows (I may be wrong, but the muscles on the avatar look male):
I alert twitter users that they typed sneak peak when they meant sneak peek. I live a sad life.
So all you have to do is Tweet about a “sneak peak” and the Stealth Mountain will come after you! Link -via Everlasting Blort

de Vinck's wife misses her new cat when she goes to work and always bug
him for updates. So what's a geek to do?
Chester is a spunky little stray who’s always looking for fun. Even if it means knocking a few things off my desk as I write this article. The only problem is, when my wife goes in to work, she misses her new cat and always wants to know his whereabouts.
She used to ask me for updates, but after a while I realized that I needed to make something that would take me out of the loop, and let the cat communicate with my wife directly via twitter.com. I needed a Twittering cat toy. And that’s how Kitty Twitty came to fruition, after some basic soldering and crafting with just a few parts.
Best of all, Marc posted the instruction on MAKE Projects so you can make your own Kitty Twitty Cat Toy: Link - via Techcrunch

This lonely Twaggie was illustrated from a Tweet by @Paxochka. In case you didn’t know, you can get any Twaggie you like made into a t-shirt through the NeatoShop! A t-shirt with this one on it will at least let others know you are available. Link
This Christmas Twaggie was illustrated by artist Ingrid Doering from a Tweet by @1surlygurl. You have to feel sorry for Santa Claus -especially if you are Santa! Link
This Twaggie is an illustration of a Tweet by @toddlevin by Matt Lassen. When I had more free time and gas was cheaper, we’d stop at cemeteries and look for the oldest birth date and the oldest death date on a stone, so who am I to say what is morbid and what isn’t? Link

I had to laugh when I first saw this Twaggie posted at the Neatorama Facebook page. See, my old microwave doesn’t have recipes on the buttons (yeah, I finally got rid of my dial microwave), but my mother’s does, which confused me at first. Matt Lassen illustrated this one from at Tweet by @perlanation. Link
The Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra asked its fans to Tweet their tips for keeping warm in the winter. Then the chorus sang those Tweets to the tune of O Fortuna! -via the Presurfer

This Twaggie was rendered in comic form from a Tweet by @anniecolbert. Although I’ve known people like that, I hope it isn’t a true story! Link
This Twaggie was illustrated from a Tweet from @jwalkonthemoon. Surely I’m not the only one to notice this looks strangely like a TARDIS, which would of course attract many people! Link
This Twaggie was illustrated from a Tweet by @IGotsSmarts. Now, that would be a GPS system worth paying for! Link
TheBookofBatman tells the tale of The Dark Knight in the style of the bible, showing just how much of a savior Batman is to Gotham City. Finally the religion of comic book nerds has gotten the formality it deserves.

This Twaggie was illustrated by Kevin Coffee from a Tweet by @yaelbt. You can get this printed on a t-shirt, as well and any other Twaggie you like! Link
File this device under unique and useless, perfect fodder for blog posts! The device is the one and only analog Twitter client, Tweephone, and you must use the rotary dial to enter the letters, one turn at a time just like the old days.
If you have money to burn and love to Tweet then your house needs this decorative device. The rest of us will be more than happy just reading about it, i’m quite sure of that.
This Twaggie, illustrated from a Tweet by @charstarlene, really hits close to home. My daughters are 13, 13, and 14, and their computers are in my office so they can feed off my modem. Purgatory, indeed! Link
Yeah, I’d almost gotten over them until I unthinkingly used the hand sanitizer. This Twaggie was illustrated from a Tweet by @rodney_at_large. Purell is not to be trifled with! Link
Occupy Wall Street is taking over all the news networks these days, but the truly important movement these days is the Occupy Sesame Street cause. Check out some of the key Tweets from the front lines over on BuzzFeed.
This Twaggie is an illustration of a Tweet from @NoogsCorner. It made my little toe hurt. It also marks the 500th Twaggie, any of which can be made into a t-shirt. Link

It’s a common problem: you’d like to have a girlfriend. So you go out and meet women. And that’s when it all pretty much goes downhill.
Now there’s a solution, brought to you by software engineer Ricky Robinett. His service sends you tweets from an apparently female person who not only tolerates your company, but actually likes you. Customers can receive messages like these:
“I miss you, honey. xoxo. (:”,
“When are you going to come see me?!?! I miss you! :0)”,
“I’m lonely hehehe”,
“Why don’t you leave the boys and come hang out with me?”,
“I wish I was with you!!! (0:”,
“I just need someone to talk to… Call me?”,
“Thanks so much for the pics I’ll send some soon (:”,
“I <3 you. xoxoxoxo. <3 <3 <3 <3",
"Oh hai! (0:",
"THANKS FOR THE FLOWERS!!!"

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

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.
It’s often hard to tell an interesting story in 140 characters or less, but when it comes to bad dates, that’s often all you need. BuzzFeed has a great collection of hilariously depressing bad date stories that might just make you feel better about your own sour relationships.
