Dear twitter
August 21, 2010
Okay this is a pretty cool idea. Someone created a twitter account for Cosima Wagner, who kept a rigorous diary of her life together with her second husband, the famous German composer Richard Wagner. Cosima's life was interesting from the start: she was the bastard child of Franz Liszt and one of his mistresses; she married the conductor Hans von Bülow and had to divorce him before re-marrying Wagner. But this twitter feed posts tweet-sized synopses of her journal entries, exactly 100-some years to the day after she originally wrote them. Think of who else's diaries could be tweeted thus! (100)
