This is the kind of thing that drives me nuts.
I read this and I think “Dammit, that has just been sitting there for someone to think of, and he thought of it and I didn’t.”
That’s funny because I actually had a moment of panic (no, too strong a word) after I posted that. I googled < “single malt” milkshake > and was relieved - and surprised - to see that indeed, nobody had done that joke before.
Good advice for anyone. I spend a great deal of time re-writing a tweet before posting, and I had this idea “Never get into a pissing match with a race horse.” Before wasting my time on it, I found that someone posted that exact phrase on their blog already.
Perhaps a new Twitter client in the making? One that searches the Twitter database for similar phrases in your tweet before posting?
