Twitter

Twitter is an interesting creature. By its micro-blogging and easy following nature, it gets used a lot for things like liveblogs, reporting on news the moment it happens. As such it is easy to make typos and other small mistakes in an effort to get the ideas across quickly.

This particular post from Extra Life was actually pretty funny in its errors:
The World of Warcraft Programming guild vol 2 is up! My art on the cover. http://tinyurl.com/yhxkbgr

Specifically, I like how he mis-typed the word "guide" and it became a term used in the game itself.

Again with the names!

This one comes from the headline of a recent post. Proper names are something to be extra careful with.

Brett Farve playing NES on the day he was drafted

This particular name has given many reporters problems, but you'd expect they'd have it by now.
