#birdsite memories:
I remember in the early days of #Twitter there were false reports of people's deaths that went viral, and a phrase was coined that inevitably got turned into a hashtag: #TwitterDead. It quickly became understood that if you were on Twitter and Twitter declared you dead but you could still tweet, you were made. I anticipated getting famous enough to be "Twitter dead" and planned my reply tweet: "I'm made! #TwitterDead"

Sure enough, the algorithm put an end to that.
