I Tweet Therefore I Am

'Who controls the past' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'" - George Orwell, 1984.

During Adam Ostrow's TED talk 'After your final status update', he mentions a website that predicts your next tweet by analysing your previous tweets. All you have to do is enter your username, and it will automatically generate what your next tweet will be. I find this idea of data analysis within social networking equally fascinating and terrifying in an 'Orwellian Nightmare' kinda way, so I figured I'd try it out.

And here it is, my 'next tweet' prediction:
Talaga? Tala GaGa!!!! Biggest Rickroll ever read. Pinkola Estes Who Run With TED.

Well, what can I say... the likelihood that that would've been my next tweet is probably about 79%. Keep hitting that 'get your next tweet' button for endless hilarity. Be careful, you could lose a few hours in the blink of an eye.

Some other notable 'next tweet' results:

Jeremy Paxman
Does anyone find me a pineapple? Back from the content of this sandwich.

Stephen Fry
A cunning new recruit: Bowels working? "Haven't been issued with a child, despite the FB Instagram!

Mark Zuckerberg
Never thought I'd be on Facebook soon! So many interesting people can have unlimited connections on FB.

Some of my other favourite predictions:

Today, my life is getting educated. drive-through daquiris?! oh yes. could go for your reply, Opteka?

Jeremy Paxman staring at a unique Galician-Portuguese word - Shelina is a thing.

You will have zebras, jumping off at things. Anyone been updated since 2009. Collective denial.

This one is deep... 
The moment you expect to feel jaded. it's really hard. but I got all up in my soul.

And this one might be my favourite... 
Oh instagram, I don't care if I like! tres moody and lemon slices on Mark Zuckerberg.

Especially liking the part about lemon slices on Mark Zuckerberg.

Well, after all that, I'm 100% fifty-fifty that modern technology is just a hairs-breadth away from destroying the human race entirely.
