The Global Language Monitor is reporting that TWITTER is the top word of 2009. It beat out H1N1, stimulus and vampire. Exciting. For Tuesday’s Radio Free Lunch we will play songs that could be tweets. If you have no idea what this is (really?) here is how Twitter describes it:
Twitter is a free service that lets you keep in touch with people through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What’s happening?
This is my all time favorite clip about Twitter in pop culture. Stephen Colbert is the funniest EVER.
