Serpent Safety

Snakes are everywhere it seems. "Reasonable watchfulness should be sufficient." Alrighty then.

 

Thanks Andrea and Brian P!

But don't forget to show them some RESPECT!

 

Thanks Carrie S!

I've heard of a snake in the grass but never a snake in the hole. India is really different.

 

Thanks Kristi J!

In Argentina, the snakes want to be pals, look how friendly he is! He just wants a little taste.

 

Thanks Yuval!

You’re History: Historical Tweets is One Year Old

Historical Tweets turned 1 this week.

What started out as a fan-boy response to Mad Men characters Twittering in mid-2008 has turned into a real web site with regular readers and contributors.  We’re so honored for the attention Historical Tweets has received.  Thank you, faithful Twitterstorians.

• Time Magazine said: “Brilliant.”
• CNN said: “LOL-worthy”
• Ashton Kutcher confirmed this with a: “LMAO”
• Times of India said: “In poor taste.”
• Thousands and thousands of re-posts, retweets, LOLs, and fan-submitted tweets from people like you.

In honor of making history with Historical Tweets, here’s one from us, HT-co-founders/writers/historians Alec McNayr and Alan Beard:

Thanks again for your support.  If you haven’t seen them, check out the Tweets that started it all…

• Tweet #1: General Custer
• Tweet #2: Martin Luther King, Jr.

One small pitch, for all those trying to figure out the how their corporate marketing can benefit from online media.  Corporate social media is our specialty.  Historical Tweets went from zero to 4.5 million page views in one year… and we do this for clients, too.  If you’re interested in hearing more about the Historical Tweets story, or us as creators, send us an email. We’ll reply, and a conversation will ensue.  We promise, it will be historically entertaining.

Remember kids, those that don’t understand history are doomed to retweet it….

Alec & Alan

Scaffold Safety

If they want you to think it's dangerous, they should show the guy falling.  (IMHO)
