Overheard: Writing a post about OH
Twitta Twitta Twitta, it is something I’m constantly checking all day long. One of the most popular things on Twitter and something I love about the site is the use of the term Overheard. You are able to track words on twitter but overheard is not one of them. My thinking is that it is so popular that they had to stop letting people track it.
So what exactly is an overheard tweet? Well to put it plain and simple when you hear someone say something strange, funny or crazy you send it to twitter with the message starting with overheard or OH. My favorite kind of OH tweets are when you overhear someone say a really dumb statement like this tweet.Overheard: “So who are you rooting for? The Yankees, or the Patriots?” . That one was sent in to twitter by Jim Mitchell
There is a great website dedicated to all the overheard tweets and it is Overheard.it. Every overheard twitter message shows up on the site so it has pages and pages of overheard tweets. If you are looking for a good laugh I would suggest browsing through a few pages and you will find some gems.
