Description | John Quincy Adams has begun posting to his Twitter account. The chronologically challenged posts are among several examples of entertaining or informative accounts supposedly belonging to historical or fictional characters.
The Adams account (@jqadams_mhs) is the work of the Massachusetts Historical Society and is designed to promote a Web site containing 14,000 pages of his diaries. The account uses genuine extracts from his diaries with Adams’ concise style fitting into the Twitter format easily. The account launched this week and is exactly 200 years behind reality, kicking off with Adams’ first trip to Russia. |
