Click, click, clack.
I issued a series of hand-typed “tweets” that I sent to a group of pals via mail. Everyone first received a little wooden bird to display each tweet as it arrived in their mailboxes. I typed multiple copies of each tweet on my grandmother’s 1950’s Royal typewriter, numbering them and adding time-stamps as I went.
