Now this is fun! Host Sydney have launched The Merry Twitter Tree, a Christmas tree that’s literally lit by Tweets that contain the words ‘Merry Christmas’. The tree, which sits in their Sydney office, is being streamed live. The more ‘Merry Christmas’ is tweeted, the more the tree flickers. Ho, ho, ho, and all that.

The North Korean propaganda machine has been brilliantly satirized through the Twitter feed, I Am North Korea. And so you are.

If you Tweet, Twit, or just plain Tweak (yes, that’s right, Tweak), then we have got the feed for you. Ours! We get access to tips that we don’t always post about, so we Tweet it, ’cause, Twitter is so right now. Follow Lost At E Minor on Twitter now.

If there was a statement that sums up the Facebook revolution for a lot of people, FACEBOOK RUINED MY LIFE would be it. You’ve been there with me, agonising over how to successfully hide a break-up, been found by people who should have remained lost, been stalked by these people, and just when you think you’ve blocked them, there’s an email demanding an explanation why. Oh wait, maybe that’s just me.

Well, Facebook hasn’t ruined my life YET, but it did push me into the arms of Twitter. And because I like to wear my heart on my sleeve, I found a watch company that shares my sentiments. Normal Watches serves up succulent slices of pop culture trends for less than $20 a piece. For fellow social networking junkies there is even a watch to tell you it’s tweet-o’clock! So time to ‘flickr’ your eyelashes at your sweetheart on You Tube, you Digg?

Love your Twitter so much you can’t stand to be away from it? Even when you’re offline and off the grid? Well, have we got the answer for you. The Paper Tweet Notepad is for all Twitter junkies, enabling you to ‘master the art of brevity in 140 characters or less’.

Our friends over at URLesque have captured some of the funniest examples from the Liblr website, where phrases from Twitter conversations are systematically swapped to create new, unintentional meanings. Example? Swap ‘late for class’ with ‘covered in bees’ and see what mayhem and confessionals ensue.

Our friends over at NYC The Blog found this bored bird sitting in a tree on Manhattan’s Mott Street, sending out its own passive Tweet at curious passersby.

Now this is very clever, though you have to be a little patient to access it as the site takes a while to load. Created by Japanese developers, the IS Parade website asks you to type in your Twitter name, then generates a fun 3D parade of your Twitter followers, trailing merrily in your wake. And it all comes with a bouncy musical backing and some rather interesting sound effects.

We did a short Twitter interview (a Twinterview) yesterday with designer and illustrator Deanne Cheuk and asked her to nominate her favourite artwork by another artist. She came back with this striking Mark Tansey painting: ‘To me’, she said, ‘it’s so full of hope and youth. I love it!’

What would you be prepared to do for $5? I mean, really? Would you sell your first born, dance with a stranger? Yeah? Well, now you can prove it. The Fiverr site is ‘the place for people to share things they’re willing to do for $5′. Err, five dollar Skype clarinet lesson, anyone?

The idea behind Blippy is to use the public blackboard that is the burgeoning social media environment to monitor what your friends, and their friends, are spending their hard-earned money on. The Twitter-based platform encourages its members to upload their credit card details so that their online purchases are displayed in real time for all the world — or at least a voyeuristic few — to see.

Got a spare five minutes to kill? Check out the Museum of Modern Celebrity Tweets. Every Tuesday, talented artist Odessa Begay creates a visual representation of a celebrity’s 140-character message, unless, in his words, ‘my hands fall off and my computer explodes’. Simple, really.

Please Rob Me seeks to prove the point that all our various Web 2.0 activities can leave us vulnerable to those with nefarious intent. Linking posts, updates, and tweets, the site generates a list of empty houses that can be used by potential burglars.

Tweet this: Twitter is launching its own wine label. And that took only 41 characters. Now for the story behind it all. In an effort to help make a positive impact, Twitter says, they’ve teamed up with San Francisco-based non-profit Room to Read, which helps brings libraries and literacy to the world’s poorest countries.

Each case of Twitter wine sold will supply books and education to children in need. Via Crushpad — a custom wine making venture — Twitter is offering limited editions of apparently “awesome” Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Fledging Initiative is the place to sort this whole curious thing out and buy your own bottle. Now retweet that.
