Twitter in Focus: Richard Branson
on June 26, 2013 at 12:30 amHey Bros!
Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die. Today’s contestant is fun-loving millionaire, Richard Branson. What are his tweets like? Who cares? Maybe he’ll give us all money!
June 22nd: “Watch @ChasingIce & see stunning, shocking #climatechange signals the glaciers are sending us http://virg.in/1jMBt”
On the upside, snow-free in Jersey this winter.
June 24th: “It’s #Wimbledon time! Who are you supporting? Join the fun & #TryTennis for free at @VirginActiveUK for next 3 weeks http://www.virginactive.co.uk/trytennis”
Depends. Who’s the hottest tennis chick this year?
June 24th: “Meeting Garry Kasparov – hoped some of his chess talent would rub off on me when we shook hands! http://virg.in/gpv”
Consider harvesting his super brain for rich zombies. Just a thought.
June 24th: “In both business & chess, you need to focus upon the present while planning your next moves http://virg.in/gpv”
That’s why I’m going to make a zombie joke right after— Aw, dammit!
June 24th: “#greatmindsflyalike! Delighted to announce @VirginAtlantic‘s new partnership with @Delta http://virg.in/dta”
Hoorary for sexy stewardesses again!
June 24th: “With innovation & customer service, trust your instincts. Sometimes the manual is only there to be thrown out! http://virg.in/dta”
That’s why I always carry a can opener. Never know when someone at a comic book convention will need to get into a can of beans.
June 24th: “The Price of Loyalty in Syria http://nyti.ms/10wt0CW #readbyrichard”
It sucks. Yet more reasons to stay the Hell out of it.
20 hours ago: “The heightened risks faced by people who inject drugs can no longer be ignored http://supportdontpunish.org #supportdontpunish”
It’s true. Use your vast wealth to legalize it Richard. It’ll open some big markets as well.
16 hours ago: ““Let’s change the way we think about changing the world.” http://virg.in/ctw”
Big thoughts. What I want to know is, how can we water ski with more naked models.
14 hours ago: “How many people are in #space right now? Good question, here’s a straight answer: http://virg.in/hmy”
More importantly, how many people are so high they feel like they’re in space right now. That would be a website.
13 hours: “Can’t wait until @virgingalactic astronauts are up on http://howmanypeopleareinspacerightnow.com , including @sambranson & @hollybranson http://virg.in/hmy”
Will there be legal weed in space? Better set out the laws now. That’ll get people out there.
11 hours: “Congrats @LauraRobson5, great win at #Wimbledon. All that training at @virginactiveuk did it! Good luck in round two pic.twitter.com/Tl8VAJG6lc”
What do you just call up Wimbledon and say, “Hello, I’m a millionaire. I’d like to personally congratulate the winner in a matching set of clothes, please.”
Okay, let’s rate Richard’s tweets. It’s a smooth mix of plugs and stuff that he seems to be actually doing. I give him a 7 for Insanity, a 9 for Mustness and a 9 for Style. That’s an overall score of 8.3. But for a cool milli0n, I will bump that up to a 9.3.
