Though I appreciate the concept, I never really could get the hang of twitter. It was probably a combination of my difficulty with word limits and my lack of being able to come up with clever and witty one liners that pretty much put the nail in that coffin and made me turn to tumblr.
The same cannot be said for Canadian Marc MacKenzie. As a response to a challenge posed as a part of this year’s Hay Festival of Literature and Arts, wrote what is now being referred to as “The most beautiful tweet in the world.” Well…according to the judge Stephen Fry, that is. And though it might not necessarily be “beautiful”, it most definitely is chuckle-worthy.
It reads:
“I believe we can build a better world! Of course, it’ll take a whole lot of rock, water & dirt. Also, not sure where to put it.”
Pretty brilliant, no? It kinda makes me think maybe there is more to this whole twitter thing after all…
Love to all,
C
P.S. And of course, a hearty congratulations go out to @marcmack!
