Twitter Updates, the 18th Century Edition
- evaryont 17y agoThis reminds of an earlier article, another look at a historical context for twitter. Apparently, there were lots of postcards sent back and forth between family members, most of which weren't much different those those sampled here. If I remember the article correctly, it was relatively recent, perhaps in the 19th or early 20th century?
