TwitPic Stories

I finally figured out a legitimate use for my Tumblr account. I can archive my TwitPic stories here. I’ve been creating TwitPic stories for years on Twitter. In the past, using photos on Twitter to tell a story in real time has been well received and have generated hundreds of @replies/@mentions and RT’s. (Actually, probably more like thousands but I haven’t actually counted.) It’s also a lot of fun for me to do as well.

The set of photos below were originally created approximately between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM on Tuesday, June 28th, 2011.

There’s always an element of silliness to my TwitPic stories and the value I intend to provide with them is to either amuse or entertain.

Having the photos statically placed on Tumblr is not quite the same as revealing each story with a 140 character comment, one photo at a time, in real time but I had been meaning to archive these stories for years. Please enjoy.
