History DOES Retweet – Play the Game at Sporcle.com

Twitter Historian — Mon, 24 May 2010 18:00:39 +0000

One of the great parts of creating content online is seeing what people — true history buffs and/or humor fans — do with it. Retweets, submitted photoshopped tweets, and Tweets in the Blank — we love seeing where this goes.

A few weeks back, an HT fan created a game — History Never Retweets — at Sporcle.com (a site that lets people create their own trivia games), and a few days later, over 60,000 people had played it.

Today, we heard he’s made another — and Sporcle is featuring it on their home page.

So put your history buff wisdom and funny bone wit to the test: go play History DOES Retweet.

Today Marks the End of History Books

Twitter Historian — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 14:05:17 +0000

We’ve said it for years: “history books have been ruining history.”

Too many words to read… too many facts to remember… too many dictators to hate.

How can a reader be expected to comprehend so many sentences and paragraphs, dates and events, names and context at once? Answer: they can’t.

But we come not to curse the darkness, but to light a glorious candle: a new history book so accurate it makes Wikipedia look like the National Enquirer… so concise, it makes a sneeze feel like an eon… and yet, so unabridged that it makes the Library of Congress a virtual haiku.

Historical Tweets: The Completely Unabridged and Ridiculously Brief History of The World hits shelves today, giving you all the history you need with just 1% of the words.

Skimmers of the world: rejoice.

A side note: special thanks to everyone who made this book possible — Kate McKean, Ryan Doherty and our team at Villard/Random House, the Historical Tweets fans & followers — and our loved friends and families.

If you haven’t already gotten the book, go get it — you’ll really enjoy the design, the humor, and the history.

And if when you get it, leave us a comment below — we’d love to hear what you think. Perhaps even leave a review on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

And if you’re reading the book close to an historical monument or statue — take a photo with the book and send it in. We’ll post it here on the blog.

Be historic,

– Twitterstorians Alan Beard & Alec McNayr

I’ve enjoyed every moment of reading it so far, and will likely continue to do so for a while.
