A massive forum free from any hateful discourse or polarizing political speech. Presidents typically use it to share their tax returns and host press briefings.

Accounts representing well-known brands tend to use it to compliment other brands and see which compliment can generate the most ‘likes.’ Example:

@wendys: Mr. King, I went into your establishment in Fresno today. How do you keep your buns so moist? And how do you keep your bathroom sparkling clean?

@burgerking: Thank you. We use @saranwrap for both. Please come again, and we will make your order your way.

@mcdonalds: Wow, can I come?

@burgerking: Only if you bring Grimace.

@mcdonalds: Aww, shucks. I bet you’d never dip a McNugget in sweet and sour sauce because you’re sweet and sweet all the way through.

[Cut to Grimace in the Brandy Glen Mascot Retirement Center, retching.]
