Six months ago I said that I didn’t “get” Twitter — well, now I do. Perhaps too much.

Twitter serves many purposes. It’s like a constant thought stream, a way to keep track of your friends and, for me anyway, it can replace RSS readers.

During President Obama’s press conference last night, it served as a great live-blog featuring who knows how many people.

Here’s some tweets from the presser I found particularly amusing (which helps when you’re watching a press conference in which the president essentially says nothing new, important or engaging).

• @HeyTammyBruce: If we had UrkelCare, Gidget, the Taco Bell Chihuahua, wouldn’t be dead right now.
• @drstrangelove17: Obama mentioned the blue pill vs. The red pill! THE MATRIX IS REAL! Haha. Just… kidding. (maybe)
• @allahpundit: There’s nothing quite like getting a health lecture from a guy with a smoking habit, is there?
• @pinkelephantpun: Oh here we go, he may actually answer…. oh. Wait. No.
• @mkhammer: “Maybe you’re better off not getting your tonsils taken out, kid. Maybe you should take pain killers.”
• @andylevy: Dr. Obama: Maybe you don’t need your tonsils removed. Maybe you have allergies. Let’s check with a bureaucrat!
• @CalebHowe: Tonsil-profiteering is one of the seven scourges of the economy, second only to the nutritionist-gap.
• @jimgeraghty: I could be completely wrong, but I think the body language of the press corps suggests that they want to chant “bull-****” in unison.
• @lehmannchris: Potus vows that Americans “won’t have to pay for things that don’t make them healthier” FREE CIGARETTES!!
• @CalebHowe: So, you know, in summary. I’m the president. This is my house. George Bush. Tonsil-profiteering, and get a nutrionist! Clear?
• @andylevy: Everytime I hear “And I mean it,” my immediate response is “Anybody want a peanut?”
• @IMAO_: Missed the speech because we were hosting Bible study. You know – stuff about the other savior.
• @mkhammer: My presser headline: Obama touts his ground-breaking transparency practice of… appearing on C-SPAN.
• @daveweigel: Wait, I missed the presser. Is Obama going to ration health care for white cops or something?
