The best Twitter prank ever?

December 10, 2009 By Dan Thornton

Every so often someone finds a genius use of Twitter. And this is one such example, as an anonymous best man has utilised microblogging and technology to play a joke on his newlywed friends in brilliant fashion.

Taking inspiration from the Twittering Office Chair, and a promise not to play any tricks on the groom before the wedding, this anonymous best man has used the honeymoon time to rig up the marital bed so that:

‘So here’s the thing: the newlywed’s marital bed now has a pressure-sensitive pad underneath which now tweets everytime they get on the job.’

‘You’ll know when it starts, when it ends, the force, a rating on the frenzy index and a judge’s comment – all broadcast live to Twitter.’

And it’s up and running in time for their return, judging by the test tweeted out today.

So if you want to keep track of what happens when they get back from their honeymoon tomorrow, then just follow @newlywedsonthejob. And with almost 2000 followers already, it seems like they’ll be performing for quite an audience – luckily in the spirit of the prank there’s no mention of Audioboo or even worse, 12seconds.tv (Think about it!)
