50 Top Tweets of January 2009
February 2nd, 2009
No, this is not scientific - it’s just my opinion. Following on from my popular Top Tweets of 2008 blog, these are the best Tweets from Twitter that I saw in January 2009. If you think you said something funnier last month, then follow @clarocada, or add the tag #tt to your best tweets in February.
January was a pretty big month - a month that saw Twitter hit the big time with that now iconic image of an Airbus in the Hudson River, Stephen Fry and Jonathon Ross talking about Twitter on prime-time chat show, and Twitter’s infrastructure holding up on January 20th with the inauguration of the 44th President of the United States.
Here are the best Tweets that I found in January. Enjoy!
