'21 Twitter Pick-Up Lines' Helps You Score With Tweets

by Warren Riddle on May 27, 2009 at 11:15 AM

Despite the media's portrayal of Twitter as a haven for celebrities, the microblogging service can be an invaluable information-gathering tool, as it hosts updates from the Center for Disease Control, NASA, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the White House. We've also previously explained how Twitter can provide a source of income for proficient twitterers. Now, on the heals of 'Flirtexting,' a guide to wooing via text message, YourTango has compiled a list of the 21 best Twitter pick-up lines (Flirtweeting, anyone?).

The list contains some appropriate and creative selections, such as "Who cares about celebrities? You're the only star in my twitterverse," as well as expected, cheesy lines like "If twitter is a meat market, you must be the prime rib." The linguistically confusing "I'm twitterpated with you," though, seems to be more appropriate for someone who needs to add fiber to their diet.

YourTango provides enough fodder to begin a Twitter love affair, but it does omit some worthy candidates, including our favorite, "Your tweets are turning my software to hardware." Some "twaikus" also should have earned a mention, as Twitter, with its 140-character-or-less messages, lends itself perfectly to amorous haikus. Already tweeting-up romantic targets? Let us know what worked (if you don't mind sharing trade secrets), or, more importantly, what failed miserably. [From: YourTango]
