The most touching use of Twitter, a Valentine’s story



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

I like Twitter for what it is.  A nice way to cull the news (I subscribe to good people), and a fun way to be humorously snippy, a thing we Washingtonians (of the right coast variety) excel at.

That's why this story from NPR is not just quite touching, but it's really quite novel.

There's no point in me recounting it.  It doesn't take long.  Just visit the site, scroll down two paragraphs, and start clicking the little arrow below the photo, scroll through the tweets and learn about a man and his parents on the one year anniversary of his father's death. (If you want, you can just read through the tweets here, all on one page.)

Seriously, it will take 3 minutes, and is worth it.
