List of the best tweets by @nathistorywhale (http://www.twitter.com/nathistorywhale). The whale tweets from his perch at the Museum of Natural History in New York. @IvyBean104 might be the oldest human on Twitter, but the whale might very well be the oldest tweeting creature (or tweature, for all you tweeple). And he's got some very information tweets. That’s why he’s definitely worthy of the Best of Twitter title. About The Best of Twitter: My mission is to identify the people you should follow on twitter, point out the people you should be tweeting to and twittering with, show you how to tweet and celebrate the glory that is the twitter tweet.
