Major Malady: Tweet vs. Tweet in #mashup
The Center for Twitzease Control has documented several known cases of a rare Twitzease known as a #mashup. A leading scientist from the center, who wished to remain blameless, tells us that the Twitzease produces symptoms that range from “the pernicious to the delicious, the nefarious to the hilarious.”
Symptoms: Two Tweets by two utterly unrelated Tweeters, often celebrities, are combined or “mashed up” together to form a single, mutant Tweet.
