NEW YORK (AP) - June 16, 2009 Two devotees of "Ulysses" have adapted its 10th chapter to
Twitter, which limits users to 140 characters per post. Called
"Wandering Rocks," the chapter is especially well-suited to
Twitter because it follows 19 Dubliners going about their daily
business.
For three years now, Ian Bogost, a Georgia Tech professor, and a
friend, Ian McCarthy, have commemorated "Bloomsday" on Twitter on
June 16. That date in 1904 is when the entirety of "Ulysses"
takes place, chronicling the experiences of a man named Leopold
Bloom.
