Along with the joy of twittering comes the pleasure of rearranging real tweets into conversations that did not take place. Through the actual words of these Twittering Nevadans, whose real identities aren’t our concern*, we are able to shake out the useless wordage and get to the real significance of Twittering, and the heart of the Nevada dialogue.
