Weird Twitter

A way of writing that treated the tweet as a form rather than a message.

The story

What this was

Deliberate misspelling, broken syntax, absurd persona and jokes with no explanation, written by accounts who read each other and nobody else. It produced dril and a great deal of how the internet now writes.

It first appeared in 2010, during the social era.

Behind the record

Where it came from

There is no original to identify: this spread through many separate posts at once rather than from a first one. ViralWorld holds no copy of it either — what it was, when it spread and what people called it is the record.

Nothing here is claimed to be the first version of this, because research established there was not one — it appeared in many places at once.

Not established. This index only names a creator where the evidence supports it.
