Osama Bin Laden is Dead – Funniest Twitter Quotes

Graciously borrowed from http://sheikyermami.com/

So Osama is dead… shot in the dome-piece as I heard on the radio this morning. I could hardly believe it when the stream first started coming over twitter. My first thoughts was how long have we been looking for that guy? and Ok now what.

Anyway with the flood of tweets to read about I got amped up and decided to post my favorite ten tweets of the event.

@DanaArikane:
"They should have captured Bin Laden alive and made him continually go through airport security for the rest of his life."

@rochellethestats:
"It’s like a Disney film… The Prince marries the Princess and the villain dies #justice"

@sickipediabot:
"So Osama Bin Laden is dead… Amazing what the Americans can do when the playstation network is down."

@Allwazerite:
"I bet Osama Bin Laden was killed after his personal information was leaked in the Playstation Network security breach."

@jesus:
"Sorry, you’re at the wrong gate, Osama."

@JediJunkie:
"Looks like Osama signed up for Foursquare on the wrong day."

@rudygay22:
"Ok so we killed Osama. Now all we have to do is find Wald and Carmen San Diego! Then I will be impressed!!!"

@unknown:
"Osama Bin Laden, Waldo, Carmen San Diego… #WorldHideAndSeekChampions" *

@NZAfro:
"R.I.P Osama Bin Laden – World Hide And Go Seek Champion (2001 – 2011)"

@davidbates:
"I bet Apple found Osama Bin Laden using that Remote Iphone Data… he was selling goats on ebay"

* I saw this one but could not find it again once I started writing this post… if your that person contact me on twitter.

Hope you enjoy National “We kicked his ass” day

#GoogleGSO

I have been chatting up the #GoogleGSO thread this morning after hearing the JoshInTheBox Google Song on 1075KZL this morning.
Play it here:

It seams like there is a lot of discomfort around how the city of Greensboro is handling the marketing campaign to try and lure Google into our town. First they abandon their 1,400 follower twitter account in order to create a new branded one instead of simply using a hash-tag, and then they pay $10,000 for RLF to build a wordpress site, which is Google’s competitor for blogspot. when there already where good standing grass roots movements like http://www.google4gso.com/, and the twitter hashtag #GoogleGSO on twitter.

I hope we get it, it would mean a lot to our community but if Greensboro as a city is going to make these kind of basic mistakes on a marketing campaign we made need to look for better business leaders to help us next election season.

One thing I will give them credit for is the google crate… that is awesome

Thanks
David Bates

Commented on “The Next Web Network”

Dang, First Twitter, Facebook, WordPress, and Blogspot. When will we be able to stop these guys? Not only that but they seem to always attack DNS except for the denial of service attack on twitter. I just hope for our sake it is not a group of people and just one hacker so we can shut them down.

Snowpocolipse 2009

The title of my post comes from a twitter saying I started because of all of the news and buzz going around the storm that we received yesterday. Every newscaster was making it seem as though this storm would be the end of the world. So I lovingly dubbed it Snowpocolipse09.

All in all we got about 5-6″ of snow with some ice mixed in. I have a lot of work to do scraping the driveway while my son and wife take an afternoon nap…

Enjoy the pictures below, I hope to take some more this afternoon.
