The Book of the Web

Recently I had a free evening and decided to build a little experiment to recast Twitter as a book, written by The Web, without any reference to individual people.  I was partly inspired by Jay Hilgert's Anatomy of a Really Old Book, and started working up from there.  Twitter is a different place without all the egos.

I turned the whole thing into a hyperlinked text, allowing navigation to happen in ways that aren't usually how I encounter things on Twitter.  Some of the juxtapositions are quite interesting, and surprising, since you end up reading people you normally wouldn't seek out.

I have more ideas of things that could be done with this, but no more time to waste on it.  So I'm giving it to you as is.  Enjoy it.
