Twitter is a wonderful place for one-liners. To be funny on the site, you’ve got to be sharp and practice economy of language. You’ve only got 140 characters to make an impression.
And what better way to wind-down the work day than with a selection of some of the day’s most entertaining tweets.
Today, Twitter was dominated by the death of Muammar Gaddafi. Other than that, we learn what turned one Twitter into a believer.
Enjoy!
