Have you seen Twitter recently? It ain’t what it used to be, I can tell you that! Not since they let in the Great Unwashed! Why, back in my day we had to type uphill both ways in the snow!
Now, thanks to the magic which is Historical Tweets, you too can enjoy the tweets of some of the greatest historical figures of all time, captured here for posterity’s sake, Twitter’s 3000 tweet archive limit be damned!
Some examples:
Martin Luther King:
Sacagawea:
Harriet Tubman:
And lastly, some dude from Italy. Now THAT is what you call a flamewar!

Ai lurvz Historical Tweets.
The novelty of Twitter has worn off for me. It only took a few weeks (I’m surprised it took that long, actually). Historical tweets look super cool, however.
God. I’ve only just started Twittering and already I’m obsolete. Just my luck.
I’m uncontrollably excited: they have mine going right back to the Fourteenth Century! I love uncial!
I have a headache right now but I’ll admit – best historical tweets evar :)
I’m going to try the template thingy when I get a chance. Got some good ones for Jesus.
very amusing rain :-)
Will you be giving it a shot? I’m working on one from Clytemnestra…but it might have to wait till Christmas.
I join twitter…and you immediately post about it going down hill. Hmmmmm.
(Also, these are very entertaining.)
Of course it’s going downhill. They let ME join! Also: http://twitter.com/Cthulhu
These are great. Will be stealing soon…
Don’t just steal: create your own!
