Twitter Tip - TweetBomb
TweetBomb is an interesting little meme that is going on over at Twitter right now. The basic concept is simple, everyday at 3:33pm EST, the tweetbomb twitter account informs all of its followers who today’s victim is. To bomb the victim, you simply need to send that individual a @reply with no message. Here is an example.
Yesterday I happened to be the latest “victim.” I throw quotes around victim since being a victim of the tweetbomb simply means you get tons of @replies, and in turn a nice amount of new followers. Personally I received around 150 @replies, and 40 new followers. Follow TweetBomb to join in on the fun! Here are a few screen shots that I took during the bombing:

AJ,
I just found out about tweetbomb today, so I missed out on the fun to you and also to your bro. I can imagine it’s best if you’re sitting at your computer w/ tweetdeck and email open……
Fun prank I say. Catch you later.

Hah, funny… I started a facebook years ago called “duck, duck, goose” that was the exact same thing. Holy crap, the group still exists with 500 members. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=2216170100
