Top Retweets

Twitter1Tomorrow I’m running my Twitterific post, as usual, but I thought I’d run a post that has my top retweets listed.

For non—Twitterers, followers retweet tweets that they find interesting to their followers, who sometimes retweet the link to their followers. Clear as mud, right? :) Basically, the link or the tweet goes viral.

And it’s interesting to me when it happens—some posts are clearly excellent and they get retweeted right away. Some of the links that have a lot of retweets really surprise me.

These are the links that my Twitter followers have found most interesting since June 1:

    Fantastic list of links. Thanks for sharing these Elizabeth. A great range of topics covered in these.

  2. Margot KinbergJuly 17, 2010

    Elizabeth – I love these links! Thank you for passing all of this useful stuff along to us.

  3. Dorte HJuly 17, 2010

    I liked the one about smart characters doing stupid things (how else could you bring them in danger in a crime novel?)

    And I must remember this one:
    “This is more classically known as your mother asking you “If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?””

    – though to be honest, my daughters have never used the argument that all their classmates do this or that.

  4. Alex J. CavanaughJuly 17, 2010

    Saw a couple I need to check out!

  5. Simon C. LarterJuly 17, 2010

    Cassandra –It’s quite a range, isn’t it?

    Margot–You are so welcome. :)

    Alex–Great!

    Dorte–Oh, I’ve already heard that one once or twice. I think my kids are about to give up on it, though, because it puts me in such a foul mood!

    Simon–“You like me! You really like me!” :)

    Conda–I liked that one, too. :)

    Stephen–Thanks!
