Twitter is an Acronym
After months of examining my own twitter use as well as the ways all my twitter friends use it,
I've determined that by far the most common subject matter among the tweets I see is people bitching about their bad travel experiences.
Therefore, I've decided that TWITTER is really an acronym that stands for:
"Travel Woes In Tiny Text Endlessly Reported".
