And, as one does, some decided to commemorate what they felt were some of the funnier and more random tweets in the website’s history. It was almost surreal to witness people talking about the death of Twitter … on Twitter. But then again, I suppose that captures the beyond chaotic essence of a website where the most left-field thoughts and tribulations can arise seemingly out of nowhere.
