Twitter, which recently celebrated its sixth birthday and bought itself a present in the form of acquiring a whole separate blogging service (Posterous) has another surprise up its sleeve. On Friday, Twitter launched a new weekly feature: #OnlyOnTwitter, a curated collection of tweets chronicling the website’s “incredible moments.”
As Twitter wrote in a blog post about the new series: “Over the last six years, Twitter has hosted many thousands of these, big and small: news events, conversations between celebrities, great creative hashtags, running jokes or debates. We’ve started collecting these moments here over the last few months, and now we’re sharing them with you.”
Among the collected tweets include a Twitter-inspired musical collaboration between the House artist Deadmau5 and producer/vocalist Chris James and a Twitter Q-and-A from the executive producer of AMC’s hit zombie show “The Walking Dead.”
The new #OnlyOnTwitter series is the work of Twitter’s recently hired content manager Andrew Fitzgerald, a former Al Jazeera journalist.
