"WTF Wikipedia" on Twitter (twitter.com/search)

As an aside - it's funny how twitter memes are invariably overrun by people talking about how twitter is overrun by a meme. At the moment, "WTF Wikipedia" is full of tweets like:

> bored? search for wtf wikipedia tweets. should make you laugh for at least five minutes

It's like that game where you find a 2 word combo that produces 1 (and exactly 1) Google result - but as soon as you post it, it get's indexed and bang, no longer a single.

There should be a word for it - memeplosion? memecursion? memetition?


It's crazy how many people on Twitter specifically are using Wikipedia EN right now.

Spelling errors and profanity aside, Congresspeople should just do this search to see the effect of their bill.
