What do pelicans eat?

You are not alone

This week’s tweet deals with the question: Who are you talking to?
Mr. bouvierm tells us:

Who is Sarah? Well, that’s easy. Sarah is obviously bouvierm’s actual girl-friend. That’s not that much of a surprise because Sarah is bouvierm’s only contact in twitter. We really hope this does not apply to his offline life. Take just a second with us to have a look into this boy’s little cosmos.

Sadly enough Sarah gives updates only to friends. Luckily enough you can read anything she writes in twitter search. Well, it seems to be a happy couple so we don’t want to rush into the their relationship too much.

It’s interesting enough that bouvierm tells twitter that there is going to happen a sexual thing between him and Sarah tonight. Why does he do that? It might be that he doesn’t know anyone can read his tweets and not only his only follower. Well, as you saw, even if you lock your updates they’re not really locked.

But insofar it could be part of a game or something. You know these “hide and seek in the internet, although we’re a couple in reality” games, don’t ya ? Besides, there’s no real advantage in getting an SMS from twitter instead getting it from your mobile, is there? You see, many questions arise from this information although there’s no need for us to know more about it.

So, here’s a little bit critical thinking: Are we some kind of rude in having a look into that private sphere? Well, that really could be, but anyhow bouvierm doesn’t seem to act that much on decency himself…

… and is so busy we don’t think he cares that much:

One week in existence

Today our tiny project is exactly one week old. It started with talking about one tweet in particular that we hadn’t posted if it told a story of us. That discussion had repercussions that led to the idea to favour tweets on a special twitter account.

We quickly saw there were a lot of tweets that included that kind of “too much information”. In a way that wasn’t something completly new to us and to twitter users we know. And as people kept asking why we were doing that we thought of having a small blog to focus on our thoughts about these tweets.

So as tweets are representations of tiny thoughts out of the daily life, our blog entries are representations of talks about that kind of tweets. We try to keep them simple but there’s no need to make tweets out of them. There are simpy things that need more than 140 characters to be told.

There’s no specific aim for this project. We’re not trying to harm anyone. We just want to get the things we focus to be on stage. And maybe our readers will have the same fun we have.

So tomorrow we will start with our first regular ‘tweet of the week’ and we are curious about things to come.

The feedback

The tweet of this week is the following:


This one really made me laugh. In english it’s “Swallow. Getting feedback in a minute.” Well, maybe it’s just me having too much sexual motivated thoughts due to reading too much horrible stuff on twitter.

The real story must be something like Fräulein Schnute is shocked, because she gets feedback soon to something she doesn’t tell us. Maybe something connected to her job. But how can we possibly get just that one picture, just that one story?

There’s a different story within this tweet that came up in my mind first. I don’t wanna paint the whole picture to you. I’m sure you can do that on your own and in more fascinating colours than anything I could write by now.

This combined with the information someone beeing the more active part within this story should get a *feedback* in a minute – really shocked me.
