Tony Harris has been outstanding on Twitter this week. I mean, like, the stand-up-and-cheer sort of outstanding.
Oh, Drunk Hulk…you singlehandedly make twitter worthwhile.
Yeah, Tony Harris has become the Conan of comics for a week. Everyone will stand up and cheer for him, but will we watch/buy when it’s on the table? I hope so.
I always feel bad when I finish these Best of Twitter and realize I didn’t read a single one of Josh’s comments. Sorry Josh.
I’m currently harnessing social media. It’s not so tough.
The Tony Harris quote is brilliant. Too bad its made much more difficult to figure out by the asinine twitter character count.
It’s not asinine. It’s what Twitter is. Imagine if everyone did that all the time? It’d be overload. There’s an art to it.
Dude could have done a blog post and linked to it.
Also, my comments are awesome. You blew it.
I love the Twitter 140 character limit. Makes you more creative.
josh–i really just have a severe love/hate with twitter. Thats my opinion. Sorry for coming off the wrong way but I always feel like i’m walking into a room and hearing a snippet of a really interesting conversation. I get why its important to the universe, I just hate that it splits up complete thoughts and how its changing language and communication, but thats an entirely different conversation.
I actually really love this column because you wrangle up great stuff that I just don’t have the patience or ability to follow "in the wild".
Back to the topic, I do think The Tony Harris quote was really and is something the industry as the whole should really listen to.
Irony = snark about Twitter’s character length preventing real communication, done in < 140 characters. Also: Drunkhulk. Always. Funny.
I love that Gillen tweet.
James Robinson’s tweet made me choke from laughter.
Drunkhulk stumbles home and puts on the radio and finds himself singing along to…Cher?? FANTASTIC!!
