@Loster21's Tweets O' the Day and Week 2010 Year in Review

Hey all, don't worry, I'm still going to do a Tweets O' the Week for this week, but I've been looking over all of the TOTD/W recently and have had a wonderful time reminiscing over the wonderment that was LOST, LOST fans, and LOST tweets in 2010.  I was going to pick a Top Ten Tweets but that's just impossible.  Instead, I'll just point you towards a few posts that were particularly memorable during this particularly memorable year.  Note: Tweeters change their profile pictures periodically, which is why their pictures may not appear correctly in the linked posts.  And obviously, the posts ARE NOT SPOILER FREE, so if you haven't finished watching LOST, go do that, then come back.  Right now.  Go on.

A great way to relive the season is by reading the tweets people posted during and after viewing a new episode.  I started posting "Reaction Editions" to the episodes starting with the Sundown Reactions Edition .  Other reaction editions: Dr. Linus, Recon, Ab Aeterno, The Package, Happily Ever After, Everybody Loves Hugo, The Last Recruit, The Candidate, Across the Sea, What They Died For, and of course Finale day Tweets O the Day from *sigh* May 23, 2010 and The Day After .  These are a great way to revisit your favorite episodes, or the season.

There were also other special editions that are great reads.  For great behind-the-scenes info check out Special Mark Goldman Edition from 2/12/2010, Behind the Scenes with LOST Editor Mark Goldman, Live Tweeting with LOST Editors Mark Goldman and David Eisenberg, and Behind the Scenes Photos by Asst. Editor Chris Braun.  There are also two terrific hashtag editions: #ThanksToLOST, when everyone wrote what they were thankful for about LOST; and the hilarious #lostbandnames and #lostmovies edition - Losties are so creative!

And finally, two very poignant special editions: Fan Reaction to "We're Done, Amen", tweets in response to Damon's and Carlton's simultaneous tweets.  Post-production wasn't complete yet, but filming was.  Then on September 22, 2010 came the LOST 6th Anniversary and some terrific tweets about it.  Thanks so much to Amy for making a special Tweets O' the Week tab where every Tweets O' the Day and Tweets O' the Week are archived, so check them all out if you're in a particularly Lostie mood, because they're all great. 

As this astounding year ends, one of the biggest years of my life, I want to thank LOSTblog editor in chief, my website mentor and friend Jon LOST_boss for taking me on as intern and for giving me this great gig.  Thanks as well to owner Alex, and to my friends the LOSTblog staff for pressing the button in the Swan along with me.  My neverending gratitude goes to every person whose tweet appeared in a Tweet O' the Day or Tweet O' the Week this year; the posts would literally have been nothing without you.  I love you all.  See you on Twitter, and here on LOSTblog.  Peace, love, and Namaste.
