Update: You can now find Excel Twitters on my Excel Theatre Blog.
For more than a year I’ve posted Excel related tweets every week, ranging from the hilarious, to the bizarre, to the somewhat useful.
Twitter Search Problems
Lately though, using the search feature in Twitter pulls up long lists of ads, spam, ads, spam, and more spam. To see for yourself, you can search for Excel Spreadsheet in Twitter. Maybe you’ll have better luck than I’m having.
There’s still the occasional nugget of Excelly goodness in the Search page, but I don’t have the time or patience to wade through all the other stuff.
So, I’ll stick to reading what’s in my own Twitter stream, posted by friends and colleagues.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the Excel Twitters while they lasted!

Oh no! Excel Twitters is something I look forward to every Friday! It can’t be gone, can it? Aw, Man!
Thanks — I’m glad you enjoyed the Excel Twitter posts, and maybe they’ll fix the spam problem in Twitter one day. It’s discouraging to see the same post 50 times, announcing a new video upload, or job posting or money making scheme.
Anyway, it was a fun year of finding the tweets.
Thanks, it was nice while it lasted.
[…] quite a while since the last one, but I’ve finally posted another list of Excel Twitters. The Twitter spam was making it too tough to collect the interesting tweets, and that’s why I stopped. However, I […]
