Twitter

Sixteen years of shouting into the void, ranked by how many people liked it. The greatest hits from my Twitter, warts and all.

Still going on Twitter »

Twitter is where it all started for me. Back in the old web it was the place we all chatted, every day, early on. A proper community. Then it just… disappeared. Shame. The web isn’t like that now.

I don’t really post on there much any more, not since Elon took it over. Elon is a massive wanker.

But I remember it fondly, which is the whole point of this page. And yes, I call it Twitter. I refuse to call it X. Because it’s a stupid name.

Twitter, wrapped

60,452tweets, give or take, since 2008
34,029of those just replies (all that chatting)
79,295likes collected off the lot
1,331fired off after midnight (sorry)
1,394swear words, mostly 'shit'
2021my loudest year: 14,919 tweets
♥ 516my most-liked ever, on being bored of Money Twitter
2010the year the old-web community really hummed

So here’s the stuff that actually landed. I sorted the whole archive by likes and stuck the most-liked photos below. The numbers under each are real.
