About

Tweet Mashup^[1] is a single-serving site created by Jonathan Adler with the help of Jess Eddy in which users can input the handles of two popular Twitter accounts and a generator will create a fake tweet mixing phrases from both accounts' existing tweets.

History

Tweet Mashup was created by analytics engineer Jonathan Adler and designer Jess Eddy. The site launched on November 20th, 2016, when Adler announced the site was live on his personal Twitter account.^[3] He posted a mashup of Jaden Smith's Twitter account, @officialjaden, and @ch000ch, marking the first posted example of a Tweet mashup.

The first mashup posted to twitter with the hashtag #TweetMashup came that day from @chitaqua.^[2] It read "#TweetMashup getting too real @heatherklus http://tweetmashup.com : I miss Amanda every morning without fail and I'm ready to cry".

Spread

The site spread quickly after its launch, as users found amusing accounts to mix together. Popular accounts to mash up include politicians such as Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, and Barack Obama, as well as popular Weird Twitter accounts @Dril and @tombrodude. On the 21st, the site was covered by The Daily Dot,^[3] and on the 22nd, it was covered by The Next Web.^[4]
