I always joke around with a friend of mine about the love people (particularly people online) have for Bacon, and I pass along links of random bacon stories I find. One day, I stumbled across this post from Andy Sernovitz about the wonders of Bacon Salt.
His response:
“Amazing! How did you stumble across this? Is bacon a subscription tag for you?”
My response:
“Nah, I guess out of coincidence the people I follow [on twitter] are really into bacon….I did just add them to my reader though…”
There a several blogs out there that have taken a stab at highlighting the quirky ways of different groups of people: Stuff White People Like, Stuff Black People Like/Love, Stuff Jewish People Like, Stuff Journalists Like, etc. Some posts are funny, some posts ride the line and some are undeniably true.
Since the majority of the bacon stories I find come from twitter, I began to think about what “StuffTwitterPeopleLike.com” would include.
- Bacon
- Having their posts re-tweeted
- Creating their own language: Ex. Tweet, Tweetup, Twitosphere, TwitterPeeps, Tweeps, Twitterpillar
- Bashing people who call themselves social media experts…while promoting their own “expert” content
- Telling other Tweeters “Ur Doing it Wrong”
- Usen LOLspeeke en der twetes
- Rick-rolling
- Making lists
- Thinking about new avatars to post
- Reporting Fail Whale sightings
- Meeting followers by coincidence in real life
Agree? Disagree? Anything you would add?

This is great James! Here’s another one:
Finding out about a news story from eye witness accounts/first-hand experience before it breaks in the mainstream media…
Agreed. A perfect example was the use of twitter to get the word out about the US Airways flight that went down on the Hudson.
Good list! How about endless inspirational quotes from famous dead people? A personal peeve.
That’s good one Katie. One type I find hilarious are the tweets from inanimate objects, like the hat Aretha Franklin wore to the inauguration: http://twitter.com/arethas_hat
I’m shocked by the dedication some people put into these things.
