Historical Tweets is a comedic historical parody blog which incorporates famous historical people and events into the micro-blogging service, Twitter. The blog provides a Photoshop template for users who wish to create and submit their own "historical tweet." Guest tweeters include Abraham Lincoln and Lou Gehrig.
In the history of history, nothing has been more historic than Historical Tweets. Most people think Twitter was “created” in 2006. These are same people who think Richard Gere created Buddhism in the 1990’s. Just before Madonna created yoga. Folks, like the sun, moon, and stars, Twitter has always been. This site proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt.http://historicaltweets.com/about/
