You’re sitting there and you’re wondering, “Self, wouldn’t it be great if there was a site like Digg that allowed people to submit the best self-indulgent, self-important Tweets ever found?”

You’re in luck.

Tweeting Too Hard is a new website that fits the above description. It’s packed with eyeball-rolling Tweets from people you’d like to punch in the face and/or kick in the nuts.

Examples:

“I was just asked whether I’m flexing my bicep, but i wasn’t.”

“Sometimes it’s obvious why some people are single, or close to it. Ah, what a rewarding feeling.”

“Sometimes when I’m driving in brentwood I feel like I’m the fresh prince of belair. How did I end up here again?! Is this really my life?!”

“OMG i was saying how i couldn’t afford the gas to fly daddy’s jet to the riviera this summer, and this barista totally rolled her eyes at me”

“228 this morning. Rock-hard abs. Looking good. I’d fuck myself if I were flexible enough.”

New Scientist ran an entertaining contest a few days that asked its readers to describe the Big Bang with a single Tweet, which is no small accomplishment given the character limit forced on users. After receiving over 500 submissions, the best of the bunch have been selected, which you’ll find below. Some are quite excellent.

Can’t sum up you tweets within the character limit? Have more to say than Twitter will allow? Then trade in the dopey blue bird for a perky blue dog called Woofer. You’ll get 1400 characters at your beck-and-call. Yes, it’s a joke, though I suspect it may prove successful, despite the comical intentions.

Woofertime:

We are in no way associated with Twitter.

This is simply a novelty website where we thought it would be funny to have a minimum character requirement for public posts and see what people did with it.

What can you accomplish with the extra 1260 characters?

• - Be eloquent.
• - Use adverbs.
• - DEA (don’t ever abbreviate).
