#drunk hulk

Miss me? Yeah I’ve been offline more than usual but today I had a little time to catch up on what is going on in the internet world. Today, twitter releases it’s Q4 2015 Shareholder Letter just for me ( and probably some massively rich shareholders) to peruse. In this letter Twitter execs explain, in a five point plan, how they will improve twitter. It focuses heavily on Periscope and getting developers to build better apps around twitter. Read that here -> Q415_Shareholder_Letter

Huh? WTF!

A) Periscope will not bring more users to Twitter. I consider periscope separate from twitter and if I decide to watch someone’s “Scope” I go right to the Periscope app.

B) Developers make crap! Someone needs to recommend a useful twitter app for me. I can’t name one. I am at a loss.

TWITTERS BEST USES

Twitter is an SMS service… My best twitter timeline still goes directly to a text messaging thread. People who are on that thread keep me amused all day.

Hashtags! Twitter comes in handy connecting with other fans around our favorite sports games or TV show. Hashtag #METS

Parody accounts are awesome! Facebook killed that feature when they only allowed you to use your real name. Where else would you be able to follow people like “EL Blombito”, “Drunk Hulk” and “DeathStarPR”? Special mention to the Long Island Favorite @LIRR_Executive.

Connecting with celebrities and breaking news is probably Twitter’s best features. Maybe Twitter should make @RealDonaldTrump some kind of ambassador.

You can’t get this stuff on Facebook. :)

The Best Drunk Hulk of Twitter

One of our most favorite themed social accounts of all time. Its truly an honor that for over 5 years Drunk Hulk was shared with the world. Amazing work by Christian Dumais

“For the last five years you have gotten to see pop culture, history and politics unfold through the blurry eyes of everyone’s favorite inebriated Twitter hero: @DRUNKHULK. Now you can look back in anger, take the walk of…

Bits & Bobs collects some of the cool things around the interwebs that I think are noteworthy and worth your time but don't necessarily fill up a full blog post or news item. On with the show...

Go Home Drunk Hulk, You're...

As of October 6th, Drunk Hulk finally sobered up and will no longer be posting updates to his Twitter. For those unfamiliar, Drunk Hulk was a fictional character on Twitter with over 190,000 followers who would comment on the day-to-day goings on with a spin that only a drunk gamma-ray powered lug possibly could. Among my favorites were Drunk Hulk's views on Miley Cyrus (SHE NATIONAL TREASURE, NEED BE BURIED AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!), and many others. Salon had a great write-up on the character's creator, actually a writer from Poland. So long, Drunk Hulk - we'll pour one out for you.

It is funny how things work. I'm really proud of this episode but it's been slow on the download  numbers. But I need to remember numbers are just numbers. They only vaguely measure growth.  The trick is to remain consistent. 

In this episode I explain my love for How I Met Your Mother. It is in its 8th season. People who love the show know why it is still on but other people are baffled as to the appeal. I shed some light on this subject. A quemment from DoctorQuemmento!!! I'm thrilled beyond all thrillness!

There were many anniversaries this week! I talk about a few of them. Drunk Hulk turns 3! Vladimere Putin turns 60! DiHard turns 1! I get emotional talking about Chris Hardwick's sobriety anniversary of 9 years!

Confession: I still have not watch Angels Take Manhattan.

Thank you for listening! Remember, don't give up what you want most for what you want right now!
