At the beginning of last week, people began tweeting messages to me to, somehow, communicate with Hurricane Irene. In response, on Thursday, I posted "Btw, tweeting messages to @irene doesn’t deliver any messages to the hurricane. Sorry.“
Friends started retweeting the post, and more and more people started seeing it and following my account. By Friday morning, that tweet was reshared more than 100 times. I didn’t think much of it.
In case you missed it, here’s a collection of @irene’s entertaining tweets during the hurricane that said hi to the eastern seaboard of the United States.
